A Quote I Love – Children Playing in the Dirt

Shared by Mary Catherine 6 Comments

I just wanted to share with you a quote I love!  Sometimes, I’m just drawn to quotes by others, as they seem to express what I’m thinking in MUCH better form than I can!  This quote by Margaret Atwood always makes me think of how dirty kids equals happy kids . . . “In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.”

Dirty Kids = Happy Kids

Planning meaningful lessons for students week after week while balancing other teaching responsibilities and a personal life can be a daunting task. That’s where Preschool Teacher 101 comes in to save you time!

Make sure the kiddos check out the worms while they’re digging in the dirt! Click on the image below to learn more about our worm lesson plans.

      Thanks for stopping by, Amy! 🙂 I haven’t read anything by her in a while, but I still have some of my favorites on-hand! Which of her books do you like best?
