And wouldn't those corner bits of cardboard be great for a marble track?!<br /><br />I'm always envious when I read about the workings of your co-operative model of preschool. It is a struggle for us to get our preschool parents involved, even though we are a parent-run community. They tend to leave it up to the parents at the school to do the lions share of what needs to be done.<br /><br />I'm sure that is why it seems we never seem to get anything done. So many wonderful ideas, so much research and then we just don't have the hands on deck needed to help us out.<br /><br />How lucky you are :)Let the Children Playhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05121823006891382199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-40001007645205369202010-09-12T14:36:03.865-07:002010-09-12T14:36:03.865-07:00WOW Tom that is one hell of a great school communi...WOW Tom that is one hell of a great school community you have going on there.

Sadly, my kids' preschool seems to want very little parent participation and is no where near as creative as I would like, but there are few choices where I live. I am so inspired by all you do and am working on a mini spinny-barrel thingy with the old Nesquick can, and we made a waterwall inspired by yours. So much fun! I also LOVED reading your thoughts on the standardized testing and found you articulated a lot of my own feelings so well. I taught high school English for several years before taking a break to be a stay at home mom.<br /><br />Anyway, I guess this is just a fan note of sorts since I read so much of your stuff. Keep up the amazing work!Marlenenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-21558496544499290132010-09-12T10:37:02.797-07:002010-09-12T10:37:02.797-07:00Cubbies are so important.

It makes it hard to store things and keep them safe and super hard to make sure papers go home to the right child...you made a great investment! :)Ms. Erin's HeartRoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494290827491084710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-10829649780702207712010-09-12T10:30:59.958-07:002010-09-12T10:30:59.958-07:00As a director/teacher of a Cooperative preschool, ...As a director/teacher of a Cooperative preschool, it makes me so proud!
