Gloria and the President

After watching the President speak to the nation and Hubby’s lightbulb question, here is what I sent to families tonight:

Hi Families,

My husband and I watched the President address the nation tonight.  The speech was full of passion for addressing and condemning hate, and understanding and accepting people.  At the end, Hubby said, “This is Gloria.  Is anyone taking her home for the weekend?”

Yes, it was Gloria.  And, I neglected to tell families that Gloria can go home with your child for the weekend.  She has a Peace Quilt and a journal of her many adventures.  She might be shy, but she is a good friend, and someone who truly gives children love, and an open door to acceptance.  Let us know if your child would like Gloria for a weekend.

Best,
Jennie

The Gloria weekend sign-ups have already started.

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.

    Imagine what the world would be like if we just accepted everyone as they are. Gloria is the perfect example of that.

  2. Hate is a powerful force, but I have to believe love is greater. You’re doing the good work 💕

    I’m sure that Gloria’s sleep-overs are going to be as popular as ever, Jennie. And her message will spread.
    Best wishes, Pete.
