From the Classroom... This week's anecdote was sent in by Kelley, a PreK teacher in Washington: I had this child in my class who could make anyone smile. Well, we were out at recess and he asked me to help him put a penny in his pocket. I asked him where he got it. He said he found it on the ground. He said that if he keeps it in his pocket that his Dad said that it would grow into bigger and better money. Now if that isn't the cutest thing ever, and to tell you sometimes I find myself stuffing my pockets with pennies. I NEED YOUR STORIES! We all have a funny or heart-warming teaching stories!
