We have reviewed her book,From The Teacher’s Desk, and would definitely recommend it!To quote from the acknowledgements in the book, Jacquie writes, “more than 1500 students showed me when to talk and when to listen. They taught me howto imagine, and how to dream. They gave me wonderful memories, and left footprints on my heart. The parents of those 1500 kids entrusted me with theirprized possessions and they extended their hands to me in cooperation, assistance, and yes – friendship. My students and their parents ultimately gave me a wonderful gift. They provided me with the experiences and gave me the incentive to write this book.”
“From birth on, talk to and with your child as much as possible.”
