In the Sand Pile~

  Wisdom is not at the top of the high school mountain, but in the sand pile of kindergarten.

All I ever needed to know I learned in kindergarten.


1.  Share everything.
2. Play fair.
3. Don't hit.
4. Put things back where you found them.
5.  Clean up your own mess.
6. Don't take things that aren't yours.
7. Say  you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
8. Wash your hands before you eat.
9. Flush.
10. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
11. Live a balanced life~ learn some and think some and draw and paint
and sing and dance and play every day some.
12. Take a nap every afternoon.
13. When you go out in the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands and stick together.
14. Be aware of wonder.
15. 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.
16. Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cup-they all die-
and so do we.
17. And then remember the Dick and Jane books , and the first word you learned-the biggest word of all-  LOOK.
