Please Don't Eat the Crabapples: Prayers and Reflections of a Kindergarten Teacher

For twenty-eight years Sandra Oaks taught five, six, and seven year olds. She laughed with them; she cried with them; she prayed for them; and she kept a journal of her experiences. PLEASE DON'T EAT THE CRABAPPLES is a reflection of the laughter, tears and prayers reflected in her journal. These wonderfully poignant vignettes vividly portray one kindergarten teacher's interactions with a wide diversity of students. At times you will laugh and at times you will cry as her experiences find their ways into your heart. This book gives a realistic look at both the difficulties and joys teachers of young children deal with on a daily basis. Teachers are caregivers who impart not only knowledge, but who also nurture those given to their care according to their personal needs. It is one of the most important tasks any adult can aspire to achieve. Here is a inside view at how a praying teacher gets through the day with her twenty-five plus students while maintaining not only her sanity, but her sense of humor as well. Once you begin reading, you won't put the book down until you are finished.
