Wow! This brings back good old memories. 14 years ago each one of us in class had to recite this poem of heart. Twas great and when i googled it, i could remember almost every line, comma and full stop. GREAT POEM!

Hee, hee. I’ve taken to hiding tape and scissors for my personal use, because I can never find them when I desperately need them.

And I just went to sew on a button, and found that my daughter had taken the entire sewing kit away with her! Not that I sew much (hardly at all) but when you need a needle and thread, you need just that, and nothing else will do.

Isn’t it laughable how we focus on those small things that in the end, mean almost nothing? But it can be hard to be Zen teacher every day.

Funny, and every parent/teacher can totally relate, including thinking (on occasion) that losing a pair of kids or more wouldn’t be so awful. Not that they mean it, but still . . .

Heh. Ohhh, I had this conversation a time or two when I was teaching. “Everybody STOP. Where are the rest of the glue sticks? None of you may have those to keep. Classroom glue is for the whole class…” and on and on and on. Still – gotta love those art days.
