Anecdotes from parents: what is important from the child’s viewpoint

By Peggy Ashbrook

It is always nice to hear from the parents of my students:
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Wanted to share with you Sasha’s painting. She did it yesterday while I was cooking.
Child's painting of a caterpillar.That is what she wanted to paint and she said that this is a caterpillar. I remembered that you did this project with our kids, and look how it went! I was amazed. I see the container, the caterpillar and a leaf, do you?

I do see them and see that what I do in the classroom has introduced this three-year-old to the concept of lifecycles and the needs of living things.
Thank you Sasha and mother,
Peggy
