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.

    It’s very easy to say, ‘I don’t want to be involved.’

    Too often, people think ‘pass it on’ means they need to nothing. Someone needs to explain that to them…

    The easiest way for evil to flourish is for good people to do nothing.

    Thanks for sharing, Jennie. We need more overt kindness to steer this world in a better direction. An act of kindness is never wasted.

    I love the thoughts behind this post. It’s not that hard to speak out when we’re going with the crowd, but it takes a lot more courage when we go against the grain because it’s the right thing to do.
