Tonight was sky watching and cloud watching.
“These are cirrus clouds.
The high altitude winds make them wispy.
They’re not water droplets, like most clouds.
They’re ice crystals.”
“Oh. Thank you.”
You see clouds. I see a bride’s veil,
a thin sweater on my grandmother,
the rolling edge of a wave on the sea,
wishes being carried to heaven.
There are stories here.

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.
A Teacher's Reflections 
Beautiful, Jennie 🤗
Thank you, Ritu. 🥰
you’re so right, I see a giant flower, with all it’s layers and petals
Oh, yes!!! Now I see it. We just have to look, right?
I’m seeing a spirit with a skull head and a trailing garment. Oh, dear . . .
Is the head at the far right upper edge? I’m looking… I love how there are so many different things for people to see.
Yes, it is.
I thought he looked a bit more like Santa, or a very old Hagrid from Harry Potter. 🙂
That’s much better than my version. 🙂
I must agree. 🙂
🙂
So many stories written in the clouds.
Yes!!!
I can see your wave, Jennie. 🙂
We have no clouds here in Beetley. Wall-to-wall blue skies for the last week.
Best wishes, Pete.
That wave is very cool. Wall-to-wall blue is, too. Best to you Pete.
Oh .. beautiful 😍
Thank you.
I love watching clouds too.
I’m glad!
I see the rolling waves of the sea as well, but, oh, how I love that you see lace from your Grandmother’s sweater, wishes being carried to heaven. 💕
Thank you, Deborah! So much to see when we really look, right?
So right!! 🥰
Many stories can be taken from just one pattern. The clouds are very versatile in that regard. 🙂
Definitely! That’s one of the beauties and fun of cloud watching. 😀
How lovely! Yes, indeed. Lots of stories carried in clouds. 💙
Oh, yes! Thank you, Alethea.
You are welcome 🙂
That is exactly what I thought! There are stories here. I see an old man with a white beard, he’s hurrying, hurrying, something is amiss…
I think I see that old man, on the upper right hand side. Yes, there are many stories here.
I see the foam of the ocean waves, too, after they’ve crashed on the shore and are receding.
Yes! They’re quite beautiful.
Hi Jennie, I love watching the clouds. I think it is very important to free your mind. My husband laughs when we go away and says I never spot animals first because I’m always watching the clouds.
I feel exactly the same way, Robbie. It’s fun and definitely frees the mine- very important!
Lovely, Jennie… ❤ xo
I’ve always enjoyed looking at clouds and trying to make them into recognizable images…
Look away for a minute, and the clouds become something else. The joy and finding never stops. Best to you, Jim.
it can be a great way to while away the hours…
Yes! It’s especially pleasant as I heal. Best to you, Jim.
I hope you are having a relaxing weekend, Jennie!
Thanks so much, Jim!
👍
I love looking for pictures in the sky
I’m so glad. It’s almost like Mother Nature playing I Spy.
I almost see Angels wings. Beautiful sky.
I looked again, and I see those wings. So beautiful!

☀️☁️
Beautiful. I love cloud watching, finding pictures and stories.
Me, too! Thank you, Norah.
You’re welcome, Jennie.
🙂
There’s science and then there’s magic – great post, Jennie.
Yes, there is! Thank you, Dan.
Beautiful, like “ice crystals.”
Yes! Thank you.
You’re welcome 😊
I wish you to put down your comments on my post on safety on road🙏
How beautiful, Jennie, and marvelously poetic. I love cloud-watching. ❤
Thank you, Diana. I do, too. Clouds must bring out the poetic side of me. 😀
It seems so. Lol. Loved it.
❤️
Love this. Clouds are always more than they seem to be.
Yes, they are. Thanks, Ally.
I’m playing catch up today, Jennie. Cirrus clouds are underappreciated for their beauty. They make me think of thoughts that come and go.
I feel the same way, Pete. 🙂
One of my favorite past times Jennie, reading clouds ❤
I’m glad to know that! 😍
So beautiful, both the pictures and the words😊
Thank you.
