A slight amount of plagiarism follows. Sue me. Twas the night before kindergarten and as they prepared, Katie was excited and a little bit scared. She tossed and she turned about in her bed, while visions of school supplies danced in her head. Erasers and crayons and pencils galore were stuffed in her backpack and set by the door. Her outfit was hung in the closet with care, knowing that kindergarten soon would be there. In the morning it came; school starts today! Would the teacher be nice? Would she still get to play? Her face got a wash and her teeth were brushed white; She posed for pictures with eyes sparkling bright. Parents packed snacks and kids hopped in cars As if they were boarding a spaceship to Mars. Some kids brought blankets or their favorite stuffed bear; in hopes they could nap like they did in day care. Their parents exclaimed: Youre big kids. WOW! Let us hold your bears and blankies for now. The parents were worried their children would cry if they left them at school with just a good-bye. So they told their darlings, If you want, we can stay and make sure that everything will be A-okay. The teacher then greeted each one with a smile, and invited the students to stay for a while. The room was all filled with toys, books, and maps, but where were the beds for midmorning naps? They colored and painted and played Simon Says, then tumbled and skipped and stood on their heads. They sang silly songs from beginning to end. Within just a minute, each kid had a friend. The children were happy. They loved being there. The teacher would show them a great deal of care. When what to her wondering eyes should appear but sad moms and dads who were holding back tears! Their noses so sniffly! Their eyes red and wet! This was the saddest good-bye the teachers seen yet! She gathered the grown-ups on the magical rug, then sent them away after one final hug. Katie then waved from the door of the school. Dont cry Mom and Dad; kindergarten is cool!
