being held at Bern's site, http://www.momto2poshlildivas.com
Being a music teacher for a kindergarten class, I really hoped to experience some insightful tips from the author. This was a dream come true for me! Here's a little snippet from Amazon:

Chapter Seven: The Special Education Experience Chapter Eight: Silly Sanity Lists Chapter Nine: Recipes for Fun Fridays Chapter Ten: It's a Wonderful World, After AllMeet the fun, loving author, Susan Case
Susan Case is a retired Special Education and kindergarten teacher and the mother of a special needs daughter. She earned a Master of Science degree in Family and Child Development and has teaching certificates in Early Childhood, Special Education and Elementary Education.My Review
Susan is a beautiful person, with her loving, kind, and caring ways. Susan Case’s writing is touching and inspirational, speaking from her own life's experiences. If anyone is considering becoming a Kindergarten Teacher or has been teaching kindergarten, this is a must-read. I love the book!
Ten chapters move along at a brisk pace, with exciting tips and tales, hilarious jokes and meaningful quotes woven through many, deep and precious stories from the author's relationship with children and their parents.
If you are a teacher or crafty grandma and parent who loves holidays like me, you'll want to write down recipes and make a list of some valuable links and teacher resources. The book is an excellent addition for your school, church, and home library.
I especially loved reading a tender moment about Hugs from Seaver, a book donation project, with tissue in hand. Enough can't be said for teachers who put in long hours serving and are passionate about their profession of teaching, sacrificing and investing in children's lives. You will be rewarded!
An excellent book and I plan to re-read often. Susan has a gift of seeing through a child's perspective and preparing them for their tomorrow. Thank you for sharing these treasures with us, so we may become better teachers.
***** stars!
