Blood Red Sun


I can’t recall when I’ve seen the sun so red.
It was beautiful.
Late afternoon today
the sky was milky with far-away forest fires.
No blue skies, no clouds.
The blood red sun was the only beacon.

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.

  1. Wow what a shot. Thanks for sharing, Jennie.

  2. And then there’s the Blue Moon. Interesting Universe we live in.

  3. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the sun red like that. We’re getting the forest fire smoke, too.
