About Jennie

I have been teaching preschool for over thirty 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 am highlighted in the the new edition of Jim Trelease's bestselling book, "The Read-Aloud Handbook" because of my reading to children. My class has designed quilts that hang as permanent displays at both the National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia, and the Fisher House at the Boston VA Hospital.

    Lovely quotes, Jennie. I agree with them all. I especially like Desmond Tutu’s. It reminds us to not be overwhelmed by looking at the world as a whole, but to take notice of the changes we can make in our own space, in our own circle.

    A rude woman at the grocery store today could do with reading this post on kindness.

      Thank you! I so appreciate your kind comments. I’m sorry, but I do not have guest bloggers on my blog. I just write about my own classroom and teaching experiences. Good luck to you!
