Good for the ego

Teaching Kindergarten requires a lot of energy, a LOT of patience, and it's a lot of hard work, but boy it is good for the ego! My little kiddos are throwing compliments at me left and right and it makes me smile so much. One girl who is the teeniest, cutest little thing was raising her hand for awhile today during my lesson. I didn't call on her right away and finally when the kids were asked to go back to their seats she approached me so she could say what she had been raising her hand to say. She pointed to my shoes and said "this is beauuuty." HOW CUTE! This group is seriously all about my shoes, it's too funny!

Then when my afternoon kiddos arrived, one girl noticed that I had gotten my hair cut and told me I looked pretty. What observant students I have! We haven't even talked about compliments but they are pretty good! I hope I make them feel just as special as they make me feel. :0)

That's one of my favorite things about teaching the younger ones. Mine are always telling me how much they love everything of mine and how they love me!

Teaching K is definitely good for the ego. I always think its hilarious when a kid raises their hand to say somethign nice, and I say thank you and then ALLL the kids start talking about compliments for me. I'm like shoot we are really supposed to be learning math right now lol.

There will be occasional times when you have to have thick skin though. I've made a few kids cry, had a couple of kids give me looks of death, and I think at least one kid has told me they didn't like me anymore haha
