Here are the cute little gift bags my son gave to his preschool teachers. We put a $5.00 Borders gift card in them and he colored the bookmarks and signed his name to them. He was soooo excited to hand them out.

Today I want to give a shout out to my son's preschool teacher.  If there was a remake of Mary Poppins, she should get the lead.  I have never met anyone quite as patient and understanding as she is.

Here are just a few things she does that absolutely amaze me:

• Last week the school had a gas leak, she calmly evacuated the building and while waiting for parents to arrive to pick up their bundles of joy she kept them warm by allowing them to play in her car.  When is the last time you had that many kids in your car?
• No matter what the story is, she always listens at eye level while my son retells it.
• To my knowledge, she has never raised her voice at anyone.  Wish I could say the same thing.
• She has full confidence that my son will ace his kindergarten evaluation later this month.
• My  middle daughter also had her as a teacher and to this day still remembers and loves her.
• Her favorite animal is a turtle; and I love to see all the turtle creations little one brings home.

So hat's off to Mrs. Z!  I've heard you should pursue a career doing something that you love.  It is obvious to everyone around you that you are doing something you love.
