Today was my very first day being a substitute at preschool. I absolutely loved it! Alot of the children that were in the class today are in my Sunday School class at church. I was excited about that. They are such precious children! The children just really seem to enjoy the preschool and listened so well today! They are constantly moving from one area to the next, which is good, because their attention span is not very long.
One cute little story from today was one little boy kept talking and telling me stories! I just love to listen to children and their imaginations. On the playground he came up to me and said, "Do you know who is the man?" I said, "Jesus." Then the little boy looked at me and said, "God, Jesus, then me", and he went down the slide. Children keep it interesting. I enjoyed being with every one of the children today!
After I was finished teaching today I had to go to my son's class. In Skyler's class they are learning about animals. So, we decided to bring our hamster, Misty, for the children to see and pet! That was a lot of fun. All the children loved petting and holding the hamster. Skyler was very protective of the hamster and would tell everyone to pet the hamster with just two fingers. Misty survived all the petting and is now in her little house sound asleep!
Skyler excited about sharing his pet hamster at preschool!

I worked in a preschool and loved it. I also had a home day care for a few years when my son was small. Being able to make a difference in a little person's day is a blessing! Cute pics ;) of the little ones and the hamster!
looks like the kids had fun seeing the hamster
isn't it fun listening to the thought process of kids??
I also love working with preschool aged kids - they are so sweet...and so excited about learning! I love that picture with Skyler and the hamster too. :)
I'm so glad you enjoyed the day!!
I think it would totally stress me out.
Sounds like you had an awesome day! I love that picture of Skyler!! He looks so excited!
OH my gosh! They are PRECIOUS! Look at their inquisitiveness. So cute!!! :D
Isn't it amazing the sweet things preschoolers come up with to tell you?! Looks like you all had a great day, even though the hamster was wore out. Ava loved the pictures, and says she needs one now.
