Over the Rainbow, Under the Water

Posted on June 22, 2023 by Jennie

To the five survivors
of the submarine
braving great depths in the ocean
to explore the Titanic,

today there were rainbows
in the water
in my pool.
Underwater rainbows.
You have crossed the underwater Rainbow Bridge.
Bless you.

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.
