Toto, We're Not in High School Anymore

So, I was reading this story to the kindergartners on my first day or two of teaching that said that reading is great because it makes you feel good. I read the page that said it can help you pretend “that you are a dragon, or a princess”. So I whispered to the kids, “Now close your eyes…are you a dragon, or are you a princess?” They closed their eyes, several of them gently spurting out “I’m a princess” or “I’m a dragon,” when a boy in the back passionately states “I’m a lawnmower!” I could hardly stop laughing to continue the book.

Priceless! I just love it! These moments are one of the reasons I love being a teacher!
