This year we taught:

a bully to be gentle

the shy one to be confident

the dependent  grew self sufficient

the mum 4 yrs old  started talking 

we stopped tantrums of yelling and screaming

the angel faced stopped punching noses

and we potty trained a bunch

we taught to dress, to wash and to eat

we taught to share, to care and to help

we washed and we fed

we wiped the tears, we hugged and rocked

... and we did teach them their ABCs and 123s and the rest

so today they, confident and happy, are moving on,

to their 'Big' schools

Our prayers are with them....
