Connie Collins Quotations

Fortunately, in talking with the classroom teacher, she shared with me that the children recently read a couple of books on loss -- 'Charlotte's Web' and 'The Taste of Blackberries,' ... The children had an opportunity to discuss feelings and talk about what it meant to lose someone and to share with each other.

It's very difficult to begin to understand something like this, ... It's something that was not expected. In a community like this, we have never had this type of experience, so it's been very difficult for everyone.

It's out of sight of many adults who might possibly be around the kids or monitoring them, ... We try to keep them in the open.

That's a management and organization dilemma for many teachers. Even me as a seasoned teacher, I love to have a second person in here when we are doing the hands-on (activities).
