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.

    My favorite, and often repeated, quotation on stories from a very wise lady : “Stories are the keepers of words and memories.” – Jennie Fitzkee. Thank-YOU!

    I think we are basically story tellers. All of our earlier lives make great stories, especially the ones my grandchildren call “sordid.” Not to worry! They just think any family drama is sordid.

    Stories can often share history and the times people lived in ways a pure history books might not.
