All I Really Need To Know...

Read this poem and post your responses.

All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten
by Robert Fulghum


Most of what I really need
To know about how to live
And what to do and how to be
I learned in kindergarten.
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 everyday 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.

1. Which of these is the most significant to you?
