Today at public school I saw...
12 kindergarteners trying hard to be nice instead of naughty
11 teachers looking up into the sky, hoping the rain would go away, understanding that teaching with a full moon on Friday the 13th with a week before Christmas and indoor recess is a quadruple whammy
10 lunch ladies serving pizza with kind smiles
9 fifth graders looking for ways to be good examples to “the little kids”
8 girls with wonder in their eyes on their way to see the Nutcracker for the first time
7 fourth graders turning their daily lives into poems
6 library books tucked into backpacks for weekend reading
5 custodians cleaning and humming quietly
4 mathematicians analyzing The Factory by Pablo Picasso
3 students with their arms around each other’s shoulders, celebrating friendship
2 Teachers crying from broken hearts for one of their students
1 fourth grade teacher rocking in his classroom rocking chair, writing
All in a day in public school.
