Back then, I thought teaching in kindergarten would be easy — just ABCs and 1, 2, 3.�But when I finally stepped in, I realized it takes everything — your patience, your time, your sanity.
It drains your body and mind to the point that you come home too tired to even have energy left for your own family.
�You're washing hands and little behinds.
You're opening snacks, assisting with everything.
�And before you can even teach the letter A, you need to start with the basics — lines and strokes.
�And you can’t count how many times you’ve had to guide tiny hands, just to help them write a single letter.
In between all of that, you're constantly saying:�"Take care. Be careful. Sit properly." — over and over, to kids who never seem to run out of energy.
It feels like your body needs to be in five places at once.
Now I get it — teaching Kinder is no joke.�It’s hard. Really hard.�But it’s also where all the magic begins. Kudos to Goodwill Imara Academy's teachers 👏👏👏👏
