First day of preK...

The local news interviewed a few children who began preK today at a year round school. The reporter asked the children what they like about school at the end of their first day.

The little girl replied "Doing my homework, learning how to read and learning how to spell".

The little boy replied "I don't know". He was just darling!

His answer was really more on target than the little girl. At four years old, he really does not know what he likes about school. Ask him in a week or so and he will be full of language about his school day.

I think preK teachers will be in the front of the line in Heaven. Each day there are 40 hands needing help, 200 sticky fingers needing to be wiped during the day and 20 hearts that will fall in love with their teacher!

I think preK is a wonderful program and see marked advancement in the children who attend public school preK programs and those that are not able to attend. I don't buy lottery tickets or gamble but I am thankful that our little folks get to go to school with the profit of the lottery dollars in Georgia.
