The other day I ran into the parent of one of my former students. This mother was telling me that her daughter was so excited about the coming school year and going to Kindergarten. The student was talking about the Kindergarten teacher when all of a sudden she stopped and turned to her parent and said, "Mom, I can't go to Kindergarten. I have to stay with Miss Smith." That to me is just one of the rewards I get from teaching young children.
