About Jennie

I have been teaching preschool for over thirty-five 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.

      Centerville, close to Hyannis. No, we didn’t bring rods and reels, just wine. 😀 This group is much like your bar chronicles buddies.

        Funny, but that must be a great group. When I was a kid, my dad and I spent weekends at the Cape catching strippers and blues, primarily. We had a hot spot in Cotuit. A friend joined us and we sleep in the big station wagon, cook off the tailgate, sell our catch to a fish market along the Canal, play a little golf on Saturday, head back to Worcester after fishing Sunday morning, but made sure to stop at the Howard Johnson near one of the Canal bridges (is it still there), and watch the Red Sox that afternoon while resting and bragging about our catches. What a great time of my life.

        My family had a ritual stop at Howard Johnson for ice cream. (That was back when an ice cream cone was a scoop, not a pint.

        Wonderful memories! And, yes it was a scoop back then. 🙂

        Thanks, Jennie. I sometimes think I spend too much time on memories. You can tell by some of my stories. I’m working on a memory story now. Be out soon! 😉😊👍

        There is never “too much” time for memories. I love your stories, Steve. I can’t wait for your memory story. 🙂

        It’s ‘cookin’. Just needs a bit more stirring and TLC. In a day or two.

    How lovely! “Sunsets, like childhood, are viewed with wonder not just because they are beautiful but because they are fleeting.” – Richard Paul Evans, from his book The Gift. Thank-you!
