Teacher Mom

Mom has dedicated her career to caring and nurturing pre-school children while their parents are at work. In her career as a preschool teacher, she
-Wiped more than her fair share of runny noses
-Tied plenty of little shoelaces
-Singed an adequate amount of nursery rhymes & lullabies
-Wiped gallons of tears from boo-boos and good byes
-Read Abiyoyo hundreds of times.
-Created mountains of arts works for kids to show their parents and to decorate the classroom wall
-Recited the ABCs more than once a day
-And many more behind the scenes activities that no one see or appreciate her for

Here is a poem I found on the internet that sums it all up more eloquently.

Top Ten Reasons to Become a Preschool Teacher

1. Cute little children......cute little paycheck.
2. Confidence that you will never, ever forget to count to 10.
3. Attention span.......Do they have one?
4. Shoes that untie themselves.
5. Get to sing your favorite songs; over and over, and over.
6. With all this bending, who needs aerobics?
7. Play, play, play.
8. Classroom art displayed in kitchen "galleries".
9. Small hands......LARGE crayons.
10. You alone make little ones count.
