Alliance for Childhood

Until the last few weeks I have been reading lots, here are my new recent favorites-
The Twilight Series
Eat, Love, Pray
Three Cups of Tea
Teaching by Heart: The Foxfire Interviews
The Tipping Point
I can't wait for summer and to get back to reading. Any suggestions for the summer reading list?
In the meantime check out the link to the Alliance for Childhood and the new report on the disappearance of play- titled "A Crisis in Kindergarten" it makes a compelling argument against pushing didactic academic teaching practices down to kindergarten and below.

I am excited to begin teaching curriculum next week. My favorite class to teach and such fun for all.

Due to popular demand

Okay, so I have been a bit remiss in writing. I promise that I will have a full rant posted this weekend. In the meantime, the Stan Little Conference is coming up the first weekend in May. If you can make it out to the desert, it promises to be a lovely day. Check out the link below for some interviews with amazing teachers who really make you think. Of course, I am leading you to Bev Bos first.
