It would be easy to upload a few pictures (all used with permission!) and say:
"We're having a good time! Tell all your friends to come sign up!"
But you can probably imagine that feelings run a bit deeper than that. Feelings for the little friends who are a big part of my life a handful of days each week!
Truly, "children are an heritage of the Lord."
It is such a privilege to celebrate the world with them.
I love these boys and girls! We've all learned so much together this year! I have chalk in the pockets of every pair of pants I own! My prized possession is the falling apart five inch black binder of children's songs I inherited from my mother. Spencer sits with his nose to the window twice a day, waiting for all of his friends to get here.
There are ten thousand cherished little preschool memories swimming in my heart that I ought to write down. Like the December afternoon when I brought out a few instruments for the children to play along to "The Little Drummer Boy,"
but spontaneously realized I ought to tell the them the story first. So they sat on the rug and I told them about the poor little boy who wanted to give a gift to baby Jesus, but didn't have anything of value except his drum. So he took it to the stable.
It's hardly ever silent in our classroom.
"I played my drum for Him, pa rum pa pum pum"
"I played my best for Him, pa rum pa pum pum, rum pa pum pum, rum pa pum pum"
But it was silent that day.
For those moments.
And my heart will always remember.
I'm trying to play my best for Him too. And for these happy, busy, bright, excited little people I know He loves.
My best is not perfect. I still have a lot to learn about being a teacher. It's a huge job. But at the end of the day, I can't think of another one I'd rather be doing.

Lori you are amazing. I love this post and I know all those littles know you love them!!!
Look at all those smiles! Looks like you did amazing things with your preschoolers this year! Those kids are so lucky to have you!
Wow!!! I want to come to your preschool! So much fun!! and so much love!!
I'm so glad you like your job! I can't think of many people who I believe would be as good for it as you are either!
One of my friends has a brother who just moved to Payson--she said she would forward this on to him (he's got a son who is 3, so I'm not sure if they want to start him this year or next). I told her to tell him to forward it to his neighbors--we'll see!
I so wish we lived closer! I'd enroll Eliza in a second! Looks amazing.
Can we request a job move just so we can be close enough for my babies to attend???? :)
Oh, how I wish I could enroll my kiddies with you!!
Oh what fun you've had! I wish I could send Alexander... I know he'd love it! (And i would too because it would mean that I lived nearby!)
How you bless those little ones! You can see it in their faces. Love you!
I think I'll just move to your neck of the woods so we can go to your preschool. Those little kids are so lucky to have you for a teacher! Way to go Lori.
Oh I so wish we lived closer!!! I would love for Allie to go to your preschool!! It looks like so much fun, and I am sure you are the best teacher!!!
Darling school Lori! Wish my Annie Rose could go. :)
