Storms and Rainbows

A violent thunderstorm this evening brought

 crackling lightening and booming thunder.

All in a moment, two rainbows appeared.

And then the power of one intensified and literally glowed.

Nature is a wonder.

“Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.” -Roald Dahl-

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.

    Even though the reason for rainbows was explained to me in school almost 60 years ago, they have never lost their magic.
    Best wishes, Pete.
