Last week I gave a speech to beginning teachers and mentors in a large school district in my state.I always begin my presentations by trying to get to know my audience， much like the way I get toknow the students in my classroom on the first day of school. So I begin by playing a little game Icall "Thats Me！" I say a statement like "I am a high school teacher" and all the high school teachersjump up and shout， "Thats Me！" Its just loads of fun. So on this day I named everything I couldthink of from beginning teachers to mentors to elementary， middle， and high school teachers toadministrators. When I finished I asked， "Did I forget anyone？" All of a sudden a gang of teachers jumped up andyelled， "Preschool teachers！" Preschool teachers...oh my gosh！ How could I have forgotten about them？ Iacknowledged them and apologized for the oversight. I then took a minute to tell them about my experiencewith my granddaughter Taylor as she started preschool last August. It had been a defining moment.So as I was driving home， I had a little time （three hours， to be exact） to think about the role of thepreschool teacher. I was thinking about how cute those little kiddies are and how they never curse atthe teacher or forget their homework. I had some nice little daydreams about becoming a preschoolteacher， just another idea in a long list of potential opportunities that Ive thought about recently. Imust be having a career identity crisis. Today I had the chance to test my skills. I had Taylor over so I thought wed have some schooltime after nap. We started a little shaky， though. I first became aware that Taylor was awake when Iheard her shrieking， "Its a HEART ATTACK！ Its a HEART ATTACK！" from the bed. Apparently，the dog was excited to hear Taylor rustling in the covers and jumped on her as a friendly doggiegreeting. Taylor was not quite as excited. After a nice snack of cheese nips and apple juice， I gathered the materials and started "school."First I wrote Taylors name in big letters with my marker and asked her to copy them with hers. Shedid really well with "T". She did pretty well with "A". Then she took the marker and wrote on mysleeve. Realizing that the first green mark was not nearly big enough， she made another one， thistime longer and thicker， and running the length of my arm. Before I could reprimand her， she beganwriting on her own hand.
