Other Trivia
I take a tremendous amount of photos and use them throughout the curriculum. I often have children tell me about what they were doing in the picture, etc. This shows them how valuable their words are and creates a bridge for loving words. I love being silly, using puppets, and dress up for special days every chance I get. I firmly believe that when children are allowed to become independent and effective learners, they will take advantage of it; with this independence comes confidence and the willingness to try new things. In case you haven’t guessed, I’m just a little passionate about working with preschoolers. This age is so unpredictable. You never know what they are going to say next and their honesty is refreshing. They keep me entertained and inspired daily.
