Things Mrs. Mann Should Have Told Me

My kindergarten teacher really did teach me alot. Now that I think about it, alot of the things that I needed to know.. I learned when I was six in Mrs. Mann's class. But there are some things I wish she would have told me..

1) Stop flicking buttons at Ryan and take a nap. When you're sleeping in Chemistry, you'll regret these shenanagins.

2) Enjoy "centers". You won't always get to play house in school.

3) People don't always share their snacks with you.

4) Grandparent's day is special. There will be times in high school when you want nothing more than for Paw Paw to come eat grapes with you.

5) Its okay to talk across the table.

6) Stop crying because Chelsea won't share the glittery crayons with you. There will be bigger disappointments than that in life.

7) Picking your nose really isn't all that bad.

8) Some people will act like they are this old all of their lives.

9) Go ahead and eat the play dough. It probably has less calories than the other things you'll eat later. And those things will go straight to your hips.

10) Make that raindeer Christmas ornament very carefully.. that'll be on your Christmas tree for many years to come.

11) Get used to being this big. You aren't gonna grow much more.

12) It's cool to do forward rolls in P.E. Some day you'll wish your class consisted of forward rolls.

13) Your handwriting actually isn't all that bad. It'll get better as you get older, but it will soon regress right back to kindergarten level.

14) Your eye patch is pretty.

15) I know you hate being the Christmas Tree in the play when you really wanted to be Mrs. Claus.. but one day you'll be glad you were the Christmas Tree.

16) When you get older, you'll be leaving your hand prints on much more than a big piece of paper.. you'll leave them on people's lives.
