Happy National Read a Book Day!

Posted on September 9, 2020 by Jennie

Today I begin the wonderful journey of reading aloud “Charlotte’s Web” to my class. These quotations bring to life the passion and importance and learning that happens when reading books.

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.

    Charlotte’s Web is magical (and I’m an arachnophobe).
    Love the quotes Jennie!

    I want to save each and every one of these quotes. I’m not sure I can live without my books and hope I don’t have to find out. Thanks for sharing these.

    I love the idea of jumping into Charlotte’s Web on day one. The story is so engaging that I can see the big eyes and delighted smiles of your kids.

    Jennie, BTW, I know I’ve mentioned my favorite teacher of all time who is still teaching at 90 years young, Here is an old link where you can see David and his late wife, Lois, or you can meet Zeus and Athena… https://youtu.be/L-waTFdVsA4
