Nature is a gift, waiting to be opened. Thank you, Charles French, for these excellent quotations.

“The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.”

                                                                               John Muir

“The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As longs as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.”

                                                                             Anne Frank

“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.”

                                                                  Henry David Thoreau

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.

      Thank you, Teagan. Muir and Teddy Roosevelt started the National Parks. Big wow! I am just starting to catch up on blogs after a wonderful, long visit from our daughter and grandchildren. Can’t wait to read the Delta Queen episodes! Happy weekend to you. 😍

    Muir had it figured out! I try to spend as much time as I can back in the bush by myself. Its a bridge to another dimension!
