Repost — Preschool Study Theme: Insects, Bugs, and Other Creepy Crawlies
I’m getting ready to launch a new project next week and I’m really excited to tell you all about it! While I wrap up the loose ends, enjoy this repost from May of 2010.
Mind in the Making: Chapter 2
I came across a quote from Aristotle recently, that sums up Chapter 2 of Mind in the Making. “It is the mark of an educated mind to entertain a thought without accepting it.”
First Friday Q&A for March — Is it OK to Let Them Cry?
What a great question from Elexa, a caregiver in a toddler grouping.

A Playful Interview, and a Mind in the Making
I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Melitsa Avila as part of her weekly podcast for Raising Playful Tots. I’d love for you to hop on over here and give it a listen. We discuss socials skills, play, and sharing. I’d love to hear your thoughts. (Particularly on the sticky question about how to manage different parent philosophies within a playgroup.)
The Silliness of Seuss
It’s no secret that I’ve long had a love for all things Seuss. As a child, as a teenager, as a teacher, as a mom. I have just always loved those books! (In fact, here’s a piece of trivia for you. In my high school it was tradition to decorate the top of your cap for gradutaion. My artistic older brother gave me one of the best graduation presents by doing a perfect ink drawing of the Cat in the Hat on mine! So there’s the proof. I’ve always been a Seuss-ophile!)
