Hi!
Good morning! I'm so glad I found this site! It's crazy, but I could be writing a lot of what you're posting! I'm starting my 47th year of being a teacher, my 27th in a parent cooperative nursery school that two of my sons attended. I get so frustrated by the academic push down, kindergarteners now have the saming learning objectives my son had in second grade 30 years ago! grrrrrr. I plan to retire at the end of this school year, but I refuse to go out with a whimper! I'm always looking for fresh ideas. As far a my philosophy, I think I'm a blend of different things. (My degree is in Early Childhood Education, earned in the crunchy granola 70's, where process, not product was emphasized.) I'm also certified to teach elementary and special ed.
I appreciate your approach, I'm really turned off by people who say…

I tried connecting at 12:45, but even though I had a ticket I wasn't sure how to access it. Oh well. I had a fantastic first day! (and second!)
