She… or I should say I, flew to Dallas Texas to attend the National Association for Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Conference. Lucky for me, it falls on the same days as the NJEA conference!

I’ve been attending workshops, getting wonderful ideas, and meeting my idols. Jan Brett! Dr. Jean! Ella Jenkins!

Energy, enthusiasm, and singing adults can be found everywhere!

I’m so looking forward to coming back to NJ and implementing some of these great ideas!

Our four-year-olds had a fabulous time visiting with the seniors at Stonebridge! We took turns bowling, and I couldn’t be prouder when one of my students would go up to a “new friend” and ask, “Would you like a turn to bowl?”

We entertained them with a few songs, including “The Itsy Bitsy Arachnid!,” “Tooty Ta” and “Mother Gooney Bird.”

They served us cookies, milk and juice!

Parents, seniors and children were very positive about the experience. We can’t wait to visit again!

Rocky Hill Cooperative Nursery school takes pride in its staff. Our turn-over is low. (Our current Director is only our FOURTH in 50 years!) Our teachers traditionally have at least a BA in education. Our assisted teachers are experienced, loving people who were also “helping moms” at one time!
