Jamison will be published

As many of you know, Jamison has started a new Toddler Preschool Program at Jessica's morning preschool. It is run by an early childhood educator that is known around the world. Before we went on break, Jamison visited her new school for a few hours to play, meet the teachers, and meet some new friends. During the play period, she was enthralled with puff balls that the teachers had set out to play with in a big fire pit. Over the break, I got a notice that the teachers wanted to include her puff ball experience as a Learning Story in a new book that is being developed. Here is Jamison's Learning Story.




Immersed in Puffy Balls

Jamison eagerly approached the table filled with soft, colorful puffy balls. All of her senses were engaged as she explored the balls. She picked up one of the balls and looked at it closely. She put it up to her nose as if to smell it and even put it on her tongue. Then she squished the fuzzy ball in her hand and immediately leaned in and put both hands into the pile. She immersed her arms and body into the abundant pile of balls and began swishing them around the tub, watching them move. Then she discovered she could throw the balls. She watched delightedly as the balls bounced and rolled all over the floor. At one point we showed her that she could use a spoon to scoop the balls into a container. She focused on filling the containers but quickly launched the balls into the air and all over the floor again.

The book will be out next fall and I am sure that Jamison will sign (I mean scribble) autographs for all her adoring fans.
