A Kindergarten Smorgasboard Day of AWESOMENESS!

Best.  Day.  Of.  Kindergarten.  EVER.  People, today was simply amazing.  Words cannot do this day justice.

Why do you ask?  Here’s your answer.

People, the one and only Debbie Clement from Rainbows Within Reach came to my school today!  I know, right?!  I’ll give you a minute to seethe with jealousy.   (Insert Jeopardy theme music here!)

This was hands down the best day I have had as a teacher.  7 years.  4 years in Kindergarten.  This was a dream come true.  Debbie was so amazing.  Inspiring.  Beautiful.  And FUN!  The principal was worried about a 45 minutes assembly.  After it was over the principal said it was the best assembly she has seen at our school.  Teachers said it was the best assembly we’ve ever had.  The kids…well, I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.  Basically what I am telling you is get Debbie to your school NOW!  
We worked all day yesterday to create this wonderful welcome display for Debbie!  The monsters lover her song Tall Giraffe so we made torn paper Tall Giraffes!

Stretching and warming up for 45 minutes of non-stop singing, dancing, laughing and learning!

Don’t hate me Debbie!  It’s just such a great shot!  

The song “You’re Wonderful” is my favorite!!!  Look at those monsters in pure joy with the lady from the iPod!

Big tall scary monsters!

OK…save this to your hard drive.  Frame it.  I don’t dance.  Ever.  Debbie got me to dance!  People.  I danced!!  That is just how amazing Debbie is!  BRING HER TO YOUR SCHOOL NOW!  AND GO GET HER MUSIC AND BOOKS!

And of course, the monsters got their own special Debbie time!!!  THEY LOVE HER!!!!  

Seriously, the best day ever.  Thank you Debbie for your words, your music, your heart and your time.  

Today also happened to be PJ Day!  I had to show my two favorite sets of pajamas.  Seriously people, check out her pajamas.  I wonder if I can get those in my size!?
And we had to honor Debbie we of course had to have a silly hat.  And of course it was our favorite song, Tall Giraffe!

Seriously, you need to visit Debbie at her blog and her store!  You can download the songs for use on Monday!  These songs are amazing and the books she has written to go along with those songs are beautiful!!!  Trust me.  Your kids will LOVE these songs!
