Favorite Children’s Book: Rainbow Fish and I Love You Mommy

Favorite thing about teaching: I have so many cherished memories that it is hard to choose just one. Here is one that does stand out. A little boy was in my 2 and 3 year olds class. He wasn’t listening very well so I asked him if he had his listening ears on. He said, ‘No, Ms. Susan. They are in my pocket asleep.’ Where do 3 year olds come up with stuff like this? I had to turn my head to laugh!
