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.

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!

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."

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.

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*

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!

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.
