During center time one of my boys was writing at the writing center. He asked me how to spell I love you. As I was helping him we got to the letter y. He asked me how to make a y. I showed him the alphabet on his name tag. He began pointing to the letters of the alphabet and instead of singing the ABC's he started singing the letters in his name. That is when I realized how new all the information I am teaching is to my students. Being a Kindergarten teacher I have to teach everything like it's brand new information and sometimes I forget that.
That is why Kindergarten teachers should get combat pay!! You are the beginning of their life long journey of loving learning!
