Kindergarten Counts ????
by Nicole Traore
30 of you before me
Eyes wide open
Pencils purchased--
Crayons too
Your teacher is ready for you
Your system is failing you, though
How will you learn when it's 30:1?
Money for assistants is gone
Differentiation and patience are key
Hope you can bear with me.
