Everyone

Every month I give parents a calendar with the themes/topics for each day. Today and Monday, I wrote simply, “gifts.”
On Monday, our “large group day,” we’ll be very busy making surprises. Shhhhh! I can’t tell!
But today, on our “small group day” with the fours, we talked about gifts on several levels.
I love word play. Whenever one of my sons asked what a word meant, we’d discuss what it meant in THIS context… but in THAT context…

There are moments in a teacher’s life that stand out and confirm that yes, I AM in the right profession! Yesterday was one of those days!

Rocky Hill Cooperative Nursery School has teamed up with Stonebridge at Montgomery, specifically the assisted living center. Once a month, the four-year-olds at RHCNS go over to visit the seniors.

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!
