Teaching kindergarten brings with it so many joys! You spend most of your day with 5 and 6 year olds who live life with so much enthusiasm and laughter. The simplest situations in life fills them with so much excitement. If I am writing something on the board and the pen accidentally falls out of my hand they are immediately in stitches. If only mistakes like that were funny to adults, instead of annoying or frustrating. Last year we were walking to the library and when we arrived the lights weren't turned on yet. One of my students started running through the library screaming, "oh my gosh, the lights are out in the library"! I will always remember that moment because I loved witnessing the overwhelming joy it brought to that student! Along with all of the laughter and enthusiasm, kindergartners also bring with them a whole lot of germs. Getting sick is inevitable as a teacher. This really hit home when I first started teaching kindergarten and one boy sneezed ON my face while I was talking to him. Not much hand sanitizer can do in that situation. :)
This past week I came down with a pretty nasty cold. It was going around my classroom, and it was only a matter of time before I caught it. My remedy when I get sick? Lots of sleep, water, and Kelly's Chicken Vegetable Soup for the Soul.
I made a batch of it this week and realized it was something I wanted to add to the blog. For my wedding shower my friends and family put together an amazing book of their favorite recipes. This was Kelly's favorite recipe and it has now become one of mine. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.
I decided to take a picture of the recipe. Lazy I guess.
Experts recommend buying organic potatoes and bell peppers because of the high levels of pesticides absorbed by these vegetables.
Regardless if you buy organic or not, I recommend using a vegetable wash like the one below to wash all of your produce. Trader Joes sells it in the produce section.
The finished product...
Yummy leftovers!
Enjoy!
