Friday November 14
To get us ready for our rain week, we had a flannel board/song about the "Itsy Bitsy Spider," going up and down the water spout. Children's interest is high when the flannel board appears as the story seems to come alive. They had an opportunity to use it later during activity time.
After our story, we experimented with the play dough Thomas and his Mom made as each child shaped a birthday cake, complete with silver glitter and pipe cleaner candles for Hunter, as we celebrated his birthday. Somehow things evolved so we celebrated each child's birthday by enthusiastically singing "Happy Birthday To You." One of the children went around with pieces of the "cake," to be sampled; oh, to be three years old again...

Jane Sullivan
- My husband Kevin and I reside in Arlington with our son, Jim, graduate of Minuteman High and our daughter, Katie, presently a junoir at Minuteman. I have been in our Early Childhood program for 11 years. I guess you could say the Sullivans share a great love and respect for this school, no matter what program of interest you are in. Early Childhood is more than a job to me. It is an experience in itself. Each year is different, because each child is different. But the love for them remains the same.
About Me
- Chippy
- I live in Stoneham with my husband John. Our home is a converted barn and a great place to raise children. Our children, Lindsay, (married to Mike), Chris and Jeff played a lot of hide and seek here. They are now "adults" although I find as a parent you never quite think your kids are grown up. I taught as an aide, teacher, and director in a Head Start program for 5 years; worked at Medford High School as a teacher and director of a child care center for 6 years and now begin my 9th year at Minuteman. I am still amazed by children's curiosity, perserverance and laughter.
