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 tried a couple of times to leave a comment on the blog, but it just kept saying you must log in, when I was… lol..
    So I will just say in essence of what I was saying,
    That I think both of you hold such a gift in inspiring young children, along with opening up hearts and bringing such JOY…
    Thank you xx Gloria is such an important part in helping do just that xx ❤ 💖🙏
