Little kids are so cute. I absolutely LOVE working with them. They are the most amazing little people. I think adults underestimate little kids so much. I have been so grateful to spend so much time with such a wide variety of personalities, ethnics, and backgrounds. And they truly bring joy into my life. I think one of the tricks to being good at anything you do with kids is to just LOVE them for whoever and whatever they are. They can sense that in you and they respond. As with most schools a certain code of behavior is expected even at the youngest of age. Walking silently to the classroom is one. It is enforced where I work. But the teachers make one exception. It is when I walk past the kids. They all call out to each other and then run to the fence to say "hi" to me. "It's Miss Kathy", or the ones with middle-eastern accents will say, "It's Miss Kate-thee". That's okay, I answer to them all. The next thing I know they are all chanting my name. "Miss Kathy, Miss Kathy, Miss Kathy!" Sometimes I have to move out of sight so the teachers can regain control of their classes. Those kids make me feel like such a Rock Star. I just love them to bits! I have the BEST job EVER!!!
