I Met Them in December

I met them in December
Thirteen of them I know
From four to six years old
Two times a week we met
And there I fell in love
With backwards S's
And B's for D's
Where E's are 3's and 9's are P's

I met them in December
And there I fell in love
When cracker is spelt krakr
And cat is spelt with k
Where glitter sparkles and sharing's new

I met them in December
I fell in love right there
With thirteen kindergartners
Where E and 3 is six
Where I learned what I always knew
I will be a kindergarten teacher
