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.

Thats a wonderful advice too, Jennie! Thank you, and have a beautiful week! I hope the snow is away, and you are able to enjoy Spring. Michael
Thank you, Michael. Those two simple words are very powerful, aren’t they? Have a beautiful week. Spring is arriving!
Indeed, Jennie! We must never forget! Thank you, and congrats! Here winter is coming back. We are with dayover temperatures around -2 / 3 degrees, and clouds like potato soup. Lol
That is our fate, here at the former “Iron Curtain”.
I never think of you being at the former iron curtain. I can see where your winter-like weather brings that to mind. And yes, never forget!

So true and funny enough it was a conversation I had with my son just last week…Dad’s and teenagers…I do think it comes with age and experience as to how we respond and that’s how our conversation went…A timely reminder, Jennie 🙂 x
Well said! Best to you, Carol.
That is all it takes Jennie… To BE KIND… ❤
Amen!

Very true, this is a lovely value to hold and teach others.
Yes, it is.
But sometimes it is VERY DIFFICULT to do this…
True! Sigh!
