Heaven at Night

Posted on August 13, 2019 by

The dragonfly show has finished.
Summer children are sleeping.
The sun has set.
Another beautiful world is awakening.
Heaven, indeed.

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.

    Your imagination has no end, Jennie. This is such a tranquil scene, and memories of summers of my own youth and of the children I worked with flowed back into my mind and felt so wonderful! Thank you so much.
