AWESOME I TELL YOU.
Please tell us what it is? We need to know.
Shhhhhhh. Be patient my pretties. All is due time.
We need to know.
I'm going to tell you, golly. Just CHILL. (Did I just type 'golly'? I need to get out more.)
So as you might remember I teach preschool now. I'm entering my sophomore year and trying to avoid the slump. Testing out new songs and new crafts. I'm going to keep it fresh and make sure those kids love learning.
I do this by being silly and ridiculous. Also by mixing in bits and pieces of my old life.
Everyday we head up the stairs to enjoy the playground and some running around. Little kids are especially fond of this time of day and they have a tendency to rush up said stairs.
We remind them over and over again to go slow and hold the railing.
Yesterday after another round of repetition the tiniest of my charges piped up "One hand for the ship."
Now if you know what that means you are my kind of people.
If not.......
Ships pitch and roll. They aren't the stablest of platforms so when you are new the saltier souls remind you "one hand for the ship". It means you should always have a free hand in case you need to grab on to a railing quickly. I have borrowed this phrase to remind the kids to hold the railing when we are heading up the stairs.
