Everything I know...I learned in Kindergarten....

All I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be

I learned in kindergarten.

These are the things I learned.

Share everything. Play fair. Don't hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Don't take things that aren't yours. Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Flush. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you. Live a balanced life-learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some. Take a nap every afternoon. When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together. Remember the little seed in the styrofoam cup: The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why,

but we are all like that.

I'm ready to watch you learn and grow beyond the little giant you already are!
