poem

I went to open house/meet the teacher tonight for Hannah. It was great to talk to her teacher more in depth. To hear what she will be learning this school year. Mrs Schulte gave us this poem and I think it really made me think....

Visitors Welcome

You are now entering the world of 6 & 7 year olds. If the furniture is small and uncomfortable, remember that it fits us just fine.

If you must walk around our games, toys and block structures, remember that it is through this kind of experimentation and manipulation that we learn.

If we seem to be talking too much, remember this is the way we learn our wonderful language.

If we come up and talk to you, don't be surprised as we are open, friendly, and curious, and we want to know you as our friend.

Enjoy our world, and when you leave, we hope you carry with you some of our enthusiasm for living and learning.
