Preschool Blessings

Blessed.  So very blessed by the "lil bugs" in my life.


My classroom looked very different as I turned off the lights this afternoon.  No hustle and bustle of pre-kinders, no hand print crabs on the bulletin boards, no weather chart or classroom tree.  They were all taken down, packed away or returned to the students.  It's summer.  

I hopped into my car, put on some Carrie Underwood and just sat for a moment.  Thankful for this moment in time, thankful for a classroom of students who enjoyed learning, became scientists this year and fell in love with literature.  They learned to ask before taking (most of the time), play with others and choose their words before speaking.  They smiled each time I pulled out the tattered "Beginner's Bible" and let them turn the pages and sometimes even choose the story we would tell.  They sang songs, learned yoga poses, Zoophonics, letters and their numbers.  They loved freely and prayed for the most important things in their lives, like their dogs, friends, family and even thanked Him for the cupcake they got to have when they went to the mall with Grandma. 

In the seat next to me was a stack of cards from students, their parents and from my co workers.  Love notes.  I spent a few moments reading them and just so very thankful.  

Blessed by the "lil bugs" in my life.  Blessed by the "big bugs" too! 

Thank you Blue Room for a wonderful year.  I love you oodles!
