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.

    I follow Marina’s blog, but obviously missed that post for some reason. Thanks for the link, Jennie.
    Best wishes, Pete.

    Van Gogh was never one of my favorite artists, but I know he brought happiness to many. It was an interesting post, Jennie, thank you for sending me there.

    How lucky we are that he was a prolific painter.

    That outright encouraged me, Jennie, seeing as I’ve just recently started painting and being in my 60’s. Thank you! ❤️

    I had no idea … but I did know that his work didn’t become known until after his death.

    Hi Jennie, I knew he produced one painting a day, but two is amazing.
