Everything I Learned, I Learned in Kindergarten... and Then Re-learned as a Mom

Poetry 212: I was visiting Michelle over at Heartfelt Balance Handmade Life.  She is having her "Thankful Thursday" today and I was inspired by the beautiful poem she posted today about being thankful.

I decided that I would also share a poem.  Although I searched my shelves high and low, the following is all I could find, and it does fit with this post.   My kindergarteners love it and I appreciate it because I love to hear my kids laugh and try to figure it out.  I hope you enjoy.
