Thoughts on preschool, teaching and parenting. Kid’s Book Recommendations. January 26, 2016. January 28, 2016. It has been a busy start to 2016 at Hedgerow. It is fun to see how much everyone has grown and matured since September. The first week back from Winter break was quite rainy. As I’ve written before. Rainy days are a special treat for kids from Santa Monica, and I was happy to have a few of them in a row. At Hedgerow, we want the kids to work with real things. I recently brought out our pair ...

Thoughts on preschool, teaching and parenting. Kid’s Book Recommendations. October 12, 2016. October 12, 2016. There were some (almost) ripe pomegranates on the trees during the first week of school. Naturally the kids couldn’t resist plucking them off the branches, so we all got to sample a few of the beautiful, juicy jewels waiting inside. A new school year means a new group of kids will surely discover the sublime joys that can only be had by completely misusing the sidewalk chalk. Beth and I love to ...

Thoughts on preschool, teaching and parenting. Kid’s Book Recommendations. December 12, 2015. December 12, 2015. The other day, Bella and Rory asked me for some sidewalk chalk. We go through a lot of chalk. Judging by the buckets and shovels they were holding, I knew it wasn’t going to be used for drawing. I’ve seen this before: they were going to grind it all up into dust, mix it with water, and swirl it around on the sidewalk like finger paint. So of course, I gave it to them. Continue reading →.

The preschoolers found her sitting down next to our mulberry tree in the corner of the garden.

Thoughts on preschool, teaching and parenting. Kid’s Book Recommendations. Form vs. Function. October 7, 2015. December 12, 2015. Tim and Ralph wanted to make fishing poles the other day. Over the years I’ve learned to let the preschoolers take the lead when we’re building or making things. Their ideas differ greatly from my own, and are almost always more in line with their intended goals. Here are Tim and Ralph’s completed fishing poles:. Something is missing here. Adding the poles would’ve made them l...

Thoughts on preschool, teaching and parenting. Kid’s Book Recommendations. October 18, 2015. December 12, 2015. The first of Hedgerow’s seasonal celebrations happened this weekend. All of the families gather at a local park just before sunset for a tasty potluck dinner of homemade soups and crusty bread, then the children and parents circle around the duck pond singing songs and carrying the special lanterns the kids help make for the occasion. The lanterns, all ready to go. Continue reading →.
