If you know me at all, you know that I'm chill. Calm, laid-back, you pick your word, that's me. I'm not peppy. I'm not a yeller. So imagine me, teaching preschool. Its been a challenge. My voice just doesn't have the natural inflection that other people do, so its a struggle to sound over the top excited. I discovered the power in a little puppet I like to call "Henry" I was challenged to be a more excited teacher, so I decided to try the whole puppet thing. Here's the secret- I can say the same thing to a group of 4-year-olds, but when it is coming from the mouth of a Hippo puppet, it is soooo much more interesting! It's amazing. I don't even care if I am known for the girl with a permanent puppet on her hand, the kids are having fun while they learn! =)
You might be chill, but you are also brilliant! Great thinking to bring Henry into the classroom, I'm sure the kids are loving it, keep up the good work! Your dear old Dad.
ReplyDeleteThose kiddos are so cute! Henry is too! Love ya :)
ReplyDeleteHello world traveler. I just got caught up on your blog. What a BIG adventure you are on. It sounds like the Lord is stretching you in many good ways. Jodi uses a puppet at times as well. It makes me laugh when she shows me how she does it. I am sure the kids love it. Give my email to Meagan so I can follow her blog if she has one. If not tell I said hello. Be Safe God Bless, Rob.
