Welcome to my Blog!

Greetings and welcome to my page. My name is Rebbecca, I am a mom of two and a preschool teacher in southwestern Virginia. I have had the blessing of working in a Reggio Emilia inspired center for nearly 10 years, with the Greenies (my students) for 7 of the last 10 years. Our emergent curriculum and play based learning approach has changed the way I think about working with children. I am looking forward to sharing my inspirations, reflections and stories with you. So glad you're here!

“If you are a dreamer,come in. If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar, a hoper, a prayer, a magic-bean-buyer. If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire, for we have some flax-golden tales to spin. Come in! Come in!” Shel Silverstein

"Sidekick"

Once in a while you come across a song that embodies all that is awesome and good in the Universe. When I originally heard this tune I was in love, the meaning for me at that time represented the bond between my first born son and I. Over the years I have also thought of this song as I watch the exciting events of super-hero play in my classroom. Most recently it made me think of my good friend and co-worker as we traverse the rocky road of new beginnings in our classrooms. Take a listen for yourself, I hope it touches your spirit as a teacher, parent and friend like it has mine.

"I am so impressed with you and
every little thing you do is incredible,
but you must get awful lonely.
Fighting crime is too much for just one-
Seem the work is never done and every hero
Needs a Sidekick, I could be it......"
