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.

    Ah, July in the country–with ice cream! I’ve been known to have ice cream for dinner a time or two. 😀

    I love this. The last year of my father’s life was spent in a long-term care home, and he always ate his dessert first – with a twinkle in his eye.

    I have never had ice cream for dinner. I might try that one day. 🙂

      It is a rare treat, and especially wonderful when we’re in a heatwave. The farm is picture perfect, too. I hope you ‘give it a go’ one day. Best to you, Pete.

    I am jealous! I can’t eat ice cream (lactose intolerant).

    Ice cream for dinner….I’m in!! How lovely and Americana it looks there! I would be thrilled to be there. Did I ever tell you I’m a huge Charles Wysocki fan? I love his Americana works.

    When I saw the first picture the only thing that ran through my head was… Old MacDonald had a Farm! And that brought back marvellous memories. There’s nothing better on a hot day than cold ice cream…

    The farm makes me remember back in the day. The ice cream makes me remember when I could eat and eat ice cream and not worry about putting on pounds. Of course working on the farm burned off a lot of calories.

    Perfect. Is as cup of ice cream as expensive in Groton as it is in Brighton (NY)? Tonight, $4.50 for a small cup of black raspberry soft ice cream with almond sprinkles. But it was worth it. Last night, too. 😂🙀😎

    This hot weather brings on the cravings!

      No. This is in Lunenburg, MA. Cherry Hill Farm. The ice cream place close to the museum is right beside Atkins. Western MA has beautiful views, and great ice cream.

    It’s now raining where I’m at so a cup of ice cream like that and a good movie or novel would be perfect for me.
