It's that time of year. The school year is winding down, awards are being given out, and our babies are graduating. I have not had the pleasure of seeing one of my kids' graduate as seniors in high school, but I have seen four graduate from Kindergarten and go into "real" school, 1st grade, before seeing my Beanie-baby graduate from Kindergarten this year. It never gets easier! The difference between them going into Kindergarten as babies and graduating to big kids! They learn to read and write. They make new friends and start lasting relationships with teachers and school staff alike.
1. Share everything.
2. Play fair.
3. Don't hit people.
4. Put things back where you found them.
5. CLEAN UP YOUR OWN MESS.
6. Don't take things that aren't yours.
7. Say you're SORRY when you HURT somebody.
8. Wash your hands before you eat.
9. Flush.
10. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
11. Live a balanced life - learn some and drink some and draw some and paint some and sing and dance and play and work everyday some.
12. Take a nap every afternoon.
13. When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together.
14. Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup: The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.
15. Goldfish and hamster and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cup - they all die. So do we.
16. And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learned - the biggest word of all - LOOK.”
