Hello, boys and girls. I'd like you to give a big welcome to your new kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Sakasegawa. This will be her very first time in her own classroom and I know she's going to be the best teacher ever.
(Congratulations, honey!)

:puts skillery in time out chair: I remember this kid in my daughter's kindergarten who got the teacher's pair of scissors one day.

It's an authentic Shinda meme, skillery. I know his name.

Congrats, Juliette!
Don't forget to tape your ankles well. Posted by Lalo (Member # 3772) on :
Congrats, dude.
Am I being totally inappropriate if I suggest that's kinda hot? Like having a wife who's a nurse or police officer.
Or am I being just slightly inappropriate?
Hope she has fun. I know I did. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the sandbox, greatest game ever.

Shinda meme? Okay, when I move to CA I get to be Jim Kelly!
More spankings please!

Thanks Mike and thank you everyone else for your congrats. I'm really excited!

Oops! I just realized I posted as Mike. Silly me. Anyway, thank you everyone. -Juliette Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Ahhhh! I wondered about that post!
Congrats again, teach. Welcome to the trenches! Posted by littlemissattitude (Member # 4514) on :
Kindergarten, huh? Now that's what I call a truly courageous woman. Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
Congratulations!!! You'll be wonderful. Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
Remember, everything these kids need to learn in life, they will learn, from you in Kindergarten. Hmmm. I think there is a book in there somewhere.
Good luck and remember, you are bigger than they are. You can take them if you need to.

Congratulations! Kindergarten teachers go straight to Heaven. I have taught emotionally disturbed boys and girls who punch and bite and swear, but I have always said it is still easier than teaching kindegarten.
Truly, I think it is the most challenging job in education. You will do a great job!

My daughter wasn't quite used to the idea of wearing shoes, or clothes for that matter.
I was terrified I'd get a call from her K-Teacher telling me to come pick up my naked child.
Either she kept her clothes on or the teacher was wayyyyy cool! I never could get any answers out of either one of them.
Congratulations!

Now that is good news. Congrats (second income now?)! 8)
Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :
I'm not quite sure why people are congratulating me. After all, Juliette did all the work.

Nah. Although, she was already smokingly hot even before the teacher thing. Even Ralphie thought so.

At the risk of being snarky - what's your nickname from the kids who can't pronounce your family name?
C-O-N-G-R-A-T-S
Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :
To the best of my knowledge, nearly all of the children she has worked with while volunteering or student teaching have been able to pronounce the name. I think there was only one who couldn't, and he called her "Mrs. S."
Posted by Juliette (Member # 5484) on :
Actually there was one student with autism who just called me plane old "S" for a while and another student with speech problems who called me "Mrs. Segawa". Other than that kids handle the name very well. It surprises me on a regular basis.
Posted by J T Stryker (Member # 6300) on :
I hope you never have a student like me in your class, My kindergarten teacher rethought her career choice after 15 years of teaching, and one uncooperative student, me. *thinks about time he almost set fire to chair*

oh, and congrats too Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
Congrats to new teacher, I helped out in a first grade classroom this year, I have increased my respect for anyone that could do that.
Stryker, I have heard that you were a very nice quiet kindergartener, but well that's lakeview.

congrats!
Posted by LadyDove (Member # 3000) on :
Well done Juliette! Speaking as the parent of a Kindergartener, the teacher makes ALL the difference in the world in how these little ones feel about school. They're very lucky to have you. Congratulations!
{Ugh... spelling!}

If you are making your kids color a trumpet, and one of them uses a pencil (so it's be shiny like a real trumpet) rather than a yellow crayon, don't make him erase it and do it over. Good kindergarden teachers wouldn't.
