Scissors and cutting: A lost home activity
February 5th, 2010“How many of you have scissors at home?” I always ask this on the first day of class, and I am always amazed at how few students raise their hands.

Recap of the NAEYC conference in Washington, DC
November 30th, 2009After a cross-country flight home from DC, and a 1,250 mile roadtrip with the family for the holidays, I still find myself at a loss for words from the NAEYC Conference.

A father/daughter venture
June 23rd, 2009Yesterday I was walking to the store with my family, when I overheard a woman tell her friend that she was off to visit her dad for Father’s Day. Her friend replied, “Make sure you give your dad an extra big hug, because my dad is no longer around.” That really sat with me all [...]
