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.

    Hans Christian Anderson was a very insightful fellow! Here’s to fairy tales.

    What a wonderful quote! I grew up with the Anderson and Grimms’ fairy tails, and loved them!

    I always liked Bettelheim’s insistence that the tragedy and drama in fairy tales was essential for kids, not the cleaned up tales that Disney seemed to promote for years. Anderson’s tales used to have that challenging effect on me as a kid.
