All I ever really needed to know- by Robert Fulghum

Most of what I really need to know about how to live, and what to do, and how to be, I learned in Kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sandbox at nursery school.

These are the things I learned: Share everything. Play fair. Don't hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Don't take things that aren't yours. Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Flush. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you. Live a balanced life. Learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work some every day.

Take a nap every afternoon. When you go out into the world, watch for traffic, hold hands, and stick together. Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the plastic cup. The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.

Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the plastic cup - they all die. So do we.

And then remember the book about Dick and Jane and the first word you learned, the biggest word of all: LOOK . Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation, ecology and politics and sane living.

Think of what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world - had cookies and milk about 3 o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankets for a nap. Or if we had a basic policy in our nation and other nations to always put things back where we found them and clean up our own messes. And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.

You can find me in the first pic sitting next to the teacher. And 17 years later when I got my diploma as a kindergarten teacher. Today, 20 years after my graduation, I still agree with Robert Fulghum. Most I really need to know, I learned in Kindergarten.

A garden for Kinders- Friedrich Froebel

May, 28th is the day of Kindergartens and Kindergarten teachers in Argentina.

I will be posting some articles about Kindergartens.

A garden where children grow

The term kindergarten was originated in German in 1835.

It was developed by the educator Friedrich Froeble, who designed a special programme for young children in order to help them understand the unity of humanity, God and nature through a set of symbolic activities.

He founded his own school and called it "Kindergarten" or the garden where children grow.

You can read more about Froebel's life at www.froebelweb.org

Happy Mothers' day!

Mum

I am your little flower, Mum

Please help me grow and bloom;

Take the weeds, but leave the roots

And give me lots of room.

Mum, you are my gardener;

My sunshine and my rain.

Too much will make me wither,

With enough, I'll bloom again.

I am your little flower, Mum

I'm different from the rest;

Don't pick me Mum, just help me grow

To be my very best.

Rebecca Armstrong 1998

Enjoy your day!

J is for Joseph ideas and freebies

I love the story of Joseph.I read this to my niece and she loves it,too.

All throughout the story we can see that the Lord was always with him.

Joseph showed courage and accepted his situation gracefully and he found favor in God's eyes.

Catalina loved the colours of the Joseph's coat so we made a coat with ribbons to dress Joseph, our puppet. We also added eyes and I drew a nice smile.




As she loves my scrappbooking ribbons, she wanted to glue some on letter J. Cute right?

5 de Mayo

The 5th of May is not Mexican Independence Day.

Mexico declared its independence from mother Spain on midnight, the 15th of September, 1810. And it took 11 years before the first Spanish soldiers were told and forced to leave Mexico.

4,000 Mexican soldiers smashed the French and traitor Mexican army of 8,000 at Puebla, Mexico, 100 miles east of Mexico City on the morning of May 5, 1862.

The French had landed in Mexico (along with Spanish and English troops) five months earlier on the pretext of collecting Mexican debts from the newly elected government of democratic President (and Indian) Benito Juarez. The English and Spanish quickly made deals and left. The French, however, had different ideas.

Under Emperor Napoleon III, who detested the United States, the French came to stay. They brought a Hapsburg prince with them to rule the new Mexican empire. His name was Maximilian; his wife, Carolota. Napoleon's French Army had not been defeated in 50 years, and it invaded Mexico with the finest modern equipment and with a newly reconstituted Foreign Legion. The French were not afraid of anyone, especially since the United States was embroiled in its own Civil War.

Cinco de Mayo is a party - A party that celebrates freedom and liberty.
