Paley does it again
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This little story is a quick read. Having retired, Vivian Paley now tells the story of a school she visits and comes quickly to love. They are doing stories in the 2's class - which might involve just one word from a child. which is later lovingly acted out by the whole class. As an early childhood educator, I read Paley to get ideas and wisdom for my own classroom. But this is a book that parents could enjoy as well, and it should certainly let others know through the warmth and wisdom of the school what good early care should be!
