Maureen Ingram has been involved with parent participatory schools for some 20 years. She currently works as a mentor for new early childhood teachers and teaches a weekly mixed-age preschool class.

Maureen has a keen interest in open-ended exploratory learning, problem-solving with young children, social/emotional learning, and helping both parents and teachers understand their preschoolers.

MYI Early Childhood Reflections
I see this blog as a dwelling place for my enthusiasm about "all things early childhood." I teach 3 year olds and I love it. I also mentor new early childhood teachers.

I enjoy exploring why I do things a certain way - the "theory" behind the "practice." I'd love for this blog to be a soft place for teachers, parents, and caregivers to land, to consider a variety of educational topics, and perhaps help us understand little ones a little better.

Theme: early childhood, preschool, exploration, engineering, parenting, curriculum, problem solving, discipline, creativity, critical thinking, reflection

Karen McIntyre, USA, Primary, Library

I am a storyteller and teacher-librarian. I was a public librarian for ten years prior to making the move to school library. I discovered the Internet in 1993 when a high school junior showed it to me on the computer which controlled our school’s satellite dish.

I began this journey with a 300 baud modem and a belief that curiosity and the availability of information would make a huge difference for my high school students.
