Mail Myself To You Poem and Project
We do this poem every Valentine’s Day and actually mail them to our families! I collect real stamps and use those instead of the clipart, but I provided a clipart just in case. One small roll of Valentines paper will suffice for the paper to wrap around the body (or use scrapbook paper that is pink.) Have fun and enjoy!

I'm a-gonna climb up in my mail box; I'm gonna mail myself to you.

All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten
All I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten.
Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sand pile at preschool.
These are the things I learned:
Share everything. Play fair. Don't hit people.
Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess.
Don't take things that aren't yours. Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat. Flush.
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
Live a balanced life--learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
Take a nap every afternoon.
When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together.
Be aware of wonder.
Remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup: The roots go down and the plant goes up
and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that. And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learned
--the biggest word of all--LOOK.
Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation.
Ecology and politics and equality and sane living.
Take any one of those items and extrapolate it into sophisticated adult terms and apply it to your family life or your work or your government or
your world and it holds true and clear and firm. Think what a better world it would be if we all--the whole world—
had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankies for a nap.
And it is still true, no matter how old you are—
when you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.
--Robert Fulghum

Todo lo que realmente necesito saber lo aprendí en Kinder
Todo lo que realmente necesito saber de cómo vivir y hacer lo aprendí en kinder.
La sabiduría no estaba en el tope de la escuela de graduados en la montana, pero si en el montón de arena en el Pre-escolar.
Estas son las cosas que aprendí:
Compartir todo, jugar justo, no golpear a las personas. Guardar las cosas donde las encontramos.
Limpari nuestro propio desorden. No agarar cosas que no nos pertenecen.
Pedir disculpas.
La leche fría y las galletas calientitas son buenas para ti. Vive una vida balanceada – aprendí algo y piensa algo y dibuja y pinta y
canta y baila y juega y trabaja todos los días.
Toma una siesta todas las tardes. Cuando salgas al mundo, pon atención al trafico, agarense las manos, y siempre estén juntos.
Siempre estar consiente y pensativo.
Recuerda la pequeña semilla en le vaso de espuma: las raíces van hacia abajo y la planta hacia arriba y nadie realmente
sabe como porque, pero todos somos así.
Y recuerda los libros de Dick y Jane y la primer palabra que apredistes – la palabra mas grande de todas – MIRAR.
Todo lo que necesitas saber esta adentro en algún lugar.
La ley de oro y el amar y el sanitar básico. La ecología y la política y ecología y el vivir sanos.
Toma uno de esas cosas y púlelas para volverlas en términos de adultos sofisticados
y aplícalo en la vida de tu familia o tu trabajo o tu gobierno o tu mundo y detendrá firme, verdadero y claro.
Piensa que mejor mundo seria si todos – todo el mundo- a las tres de la tarde tomaran leche
con galletas y después tomaremos una siesta con una cobijita.
Y todavía es verdad, no importa lo viejo que estés –cuando salgas al mundo, es mejor agarrarnos de la mano y estar juntos.
-- Robert Fulgham

Please note, although many cultural traditions are based on religious beliefs, we do not discuss any religious backgrounds or meanings. Please feel free to tell me about them but those cannot be discussed in class.
We will, however, talk about different celebrations and cultural traditions celebrated in December, which is a part of our Social Studies standards given to us by the state. Please let me know if you have any concerns with this.
And also know that the information included on this page is for my reference only and will not be shared specifically with the students. I will set a classroom culture of acceptance for whatever you believe and I also expect the students to do the same. (For example, if your student believes in a certain person or tradition, I will not allow anyone to disrespect their belief or to call it into question by any means.)
Thank you for taking the time to let me know. Please feel free to continue on the back or call if you need!
