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.
Honestly, it’s the best hand made flag we’ve ever had. It is big and very heavy. I wish you had been here for the ‘guy conversation’ on how he made the stars. He had a thin plastic template of the stars. Then he took that to a metal fabrication shop who made a thin stainless steel cut-out of the template. He then used a Dremel router to carve the stars. Cool! Yes, it looks great hanging on the porch. Thanks, Dan!
