Just curious. By the way, one of my own "favorites" is your Two Year Olds With Hammers which I have used with my college student-teachers to get some controversy mixed in with opinions in our class discussions :) Cheers.

I suspect this is the post about "preschool gray" that you're thinking about: http://teachertomsblog.blogspot.com/2012/04/you-were-still-child.html<br /><br />@Juliet . . . It doesn't revive me at the end of the day, but it does get me going in the morning! I've always been a morning worker and an evening slacker. I'd like to continue posting daily, but I'm taking on a new class next year, older children, in addition to my current 2 classes, so my frequency of posting might have to change.Teacher Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606781724784785338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-63078707091644792222012-05-26T12:51:10.875-07:002012-05-26T12:51:10.875-07:00Oh what a mouthwatering list.

You have thought about what you are saying and happy to eat dirt if afterwards you reckon someone's said something that makes you think again. (Remember a bit of dirt is good to eat).<br /><br />My only request is that you don't wear yourself out blogging. I hope it revives you at the end of a busy day. <br /><br />Thanks to you for writing this and many more posts.Juliet Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07035975039896986525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-89644701330984119002012-05-26T12:44:03.390-07:002012-05-26T12:44:03.390-07:00Hi!

My favorite post so far is the one about fingerpainting and getting to brown. I tried to find it again and haven't been able to. I wanted to reference it in my blog, but despite a lot of searching....I couldn't find it. Could you please respond with the title? Then I can update my blog (which doesn't have a zillion views, just one or two here and there) and give you credit! Thanks so much!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
