About Jennie

I have been teaching preschool for over forty years. This is my passion. I believe that children have a voice, and that is the catalyst to enhance or even change the learning experience. Emergent curriculum opens young minds. It's the little things that happen in the classroom that are most important and exciting. That's what I write about. I was a live guest on the Kelly Clarkson Show. I am highlighted in the seventh edition of Jim Trelease's million-copy bestselling book, "The Read-Aloud Handbook" because of my reading to children. My class has designed quilts that hang as permanent displays at the National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia, the Fisher House at the Boston VA Hospital, and the Massachusetts State House in Boston.

    Chocolate (and a friend’s blog) are always great gifts to share! This was a very nice post, Jennie.

    I had never imagined Dickens liking chocolate, so this was doubly enjoyable.
    Best wishes, Pete.

    Love the quote and I hate to disappoint but it wasn’t Dickens. Research by someone on Wikipedia says it’s from a merchandising site called The Printwick Papers. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Talk:Charles_Dickens!

    I couldn’t agree more! Dickens knew the secret of life 🙂

    I am a friend to anyone who has chocolate….just kidding. It depends on if they learned to share as children. This post is so cute and funny! Dickens knew how to laugh! KD 🙂
