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.
I didn’t actually remember that stat (I had to look it up), but I remembered the sentiment. It’s a lot easier to smile than frown. Have a great day, Jennie. P.S. I’m smiling. 😊

Great quote, Jennie.
Thank you, John. I do love my wrinkles. 🙂
I love the quote, but can’t say I am liking my wrinkled face or taking it gracefully. 😀
Hahaha! I think being a preschool teacher has every wrinkle shining in the sky (or the classroom). 😍

Love it! 😍

I love that!

Now there’s a quote I can get behind!
🙂
One of my most favorite authors.
Mine, too. This quote of his was new to me.
There are forty-three muscles in the face. Seventeen are used when you smile, but all forty-three are used when you frown.
Really? Thank you, Pete. I’m going to spread the news at school today.

Yes, he did. His wit was sharp and funny. Glad you enjoyed this.
We all need plenty of those. 🙂

Mark Twain makes me love every one of my (many) wrinkles. Thank you, Joy.
Blimey I smile a lot so I should have them aplenty. 😊😊
Haha! I think that’s a good thing 🙂
Me too😊😊😊😊
I like to smile at folk who are mean towards me. It unnerves them. A little Wicked I love it.
Good for you! 😀
