Budget Cuts

Hot for Teachers w/ Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green from Megan Fox

This is upsetting, not only for current teachers, but those who are going to school to become a teacher. Sure the teachers being laid off is a horrible thing, but what's even more despicable is the fact that these children are suffering! All over the United States, children are losing things like their music program, art classes, and even lunch programs. They're being forced into classes with 35 children, which is way too many for one teacher to handle and have control over. 


These children are our future. If we lay off teachers, we're only hurting ourselves in the long run. Children will have a worse education, and things will never get better. They won't be able to become scientists to come up with a cure for cancer, or business men, or even a teacher, because they don't have the right education to do so. 


So if not for yourselves, do it for your children, your neighbor's children, the children of our future. Help and say no to budget cuts, no matter what country, state, or zip code you live in. Thank you

Quotes from the classroom

I just got home from work [my amazing job working with children at a preschool - I'm one of the afternoon teachers!]. My kids seriously say the most hysterical things, and it's amazing how it makes sense to them. I usually try and think back to my days in preschool but usually come up short. I can't really remember, which kind of makes me upset. Therefore, I want to try and document what my students children learners say :] [because they are learning each and every day, not only from myself but just watching the world around them]

Today, at snack time, J [name will be kept confidential], as well as all the other children asked me a rather interesting question.

 J says, "Miss Kristyn, what was your name when you were little?"

I reply, "It was Kristyn (with a smile)."

Other children, "What was Miss S's name when she was little?"

I reply, "It was S."

They found this quite peculiar and therefore, kept asking about every other teacher that worked in the building, even the director and her husband. I answered every one quite patiently, giggling to myself. 

They had learned something new, something that didn't make sense to them before snack, but now made complete sense. 

I love teaching my children something new. It seriously is why I want to become a teacher in the first place. I want them to learn something that they will remember forever. I want to inspire them to want to learn. I want them to love learning. I myself want to learn how to become a better teacher.
