Today The Chipmunks had a special treat. John's Mom, Tracey, was our guest story teller and she read a book called, "A Baby Just Like Me," by Susan Winter. The older sibling in the book expects a baby to come home and immediately start playing and being her new friend. Instead the baby doesn't even "use the potty," and far worse, takes all of Mom's time and attention. After a chat and a reassuring hug, the big sister waited it out and eventually got a play mate.
At our large group meeting, I brought in my Thank You Bag with four items to be picked out of the bag to provide a visual of what I am thankful for - my family, my parents, a pillow and a cantaloupe - were the items. This gave children an opportunity to think about what they are thankful for; we recorded their thoughts.

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.
