My Wish For Spring!
Yesterday, as I drove home form the school I rolled down my windows to enjoy the breeze. I stopped at the a red light and was drawn to the conversation taking place in the car next to mine. "Did you do this all by yourself?" a father asked his young son. "Yes I did it," he replied with great pride. "That's amazing. You must work hard in kindergarten!" "All the day,'he answered. (that made me laugh) My eyes turned to them. I wondered what I might see. There in full view was a booklet of photocopied work sheets. Some of trees, other of bugs. The title page, Spring has Sprung. I felt such disappointment. Is this all a parent and child should expect for Kindergarten? I offer these beautiful treasures as an alternate to glorifying Spring, the season of birth.
