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.

        Aww, thank you, my friend. Jennie, I’m substitute teaching. You’re with me when I’m there. 😭🙏🏻 I think, “what would Jennie do?” Tee hee. I’m not overdoing it (or undoing it). It’s good to have extra funds with all my treatments, but even better? Being with kids again. 🙏🏻❤️ tomorrow I’ll be in 2nd grade. Tuesday, 3rd grade, and Friday, 4th grade. Although I’m not here often, I hold you in my heart. You inspire me! 💚

        This is wonderful news! Those children will be your inspiration. Karla, if you have any extra time with the children, even if it’s just lining up to go outside, read aloud!!! I know, I sound pushy, but that is the best thing you can do for those children. “The Wild Robot” will be a winner for all the children. I’ll be smiling and thinking about you all week. Thank you for your kind words! 🥰

    Too bad we lose our childhood visions and imagination.

    I always look for the magic in small things. Insects busy on a fallen log, tiny intricate lichens clinging to a brick, reflections in large raindrops. Nature never fails to provide magic in abundance.

    Best wishes, Pete.
