JAIS Kindergarten graduation

"All I really need to know I learned in kindergarten.

ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW about how to live and what to do 

and how to be I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not 

at the top of the graduate-school mountain, but there in the 

sandpile at Sunday School. These are the things I learned:

Share everything. 

Play fair. 

Don't hit people. 

Put things back where you found them. 

Clean up your own mess. 

Don't take things that aren't yours. 

Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody. 

Wash your hands before you eat. 

Flush. 

Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you. 

Live a balanced life - learn some and think some
and draw and paint and sing and dance and play 
and work every day some. 

Take a nap every afternoon. 

When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, 
hold hands, and stick together. 

Be aware of wonder.
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.  

And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books 
and the first word you learned - the biggest
word of all - LOOK."
