As you've probably gathered from earlier posts, kindergarten is quite a unique age. There isn't much they don't take literally. To make certain they completely understand, it is necessary to spell out everything.
Before many lessons, I remind the kids how they should be sitting on the floor (with the usual "criss cross applesauce") and make sure their eyes are on the person speaking . . .
Today, however, my assistant principal was coming to observe, so I made all the necessary precautions one might normally make before your boss comes in . . . and I quizzed them.
"What should we do if we need to say something?"
Raise our hand! (as they all raise their hands)
"Where should your hands be?"
In our laps! (as their hands are clearly in their laps)
"How should you be sitting?"
Criss cross applesauce! (and showing their perfect posture)
"Where should your eyes be?"
On the speaker! (All but one was pointing their finger at me . . . the one not pointing at me had her finger pointing straight up in the air . . . at the actual S P E A K E R!)
You gotta love it.

They all sound so cute. I hope I get to come meet them this year. If you have any special lessons sometime and you need a helper let me know. I hope they all behaved well while the principal was there. Three cheers for Mrs. Marsh! I know they all love you! They are lucky to have such a great teacher!
Ha ha! I love it!
