The CAMPUS Kids and I are so happy to be contributing to a fantastic new website for tweens and teens, girls in particular. It&#8217;s called Young Chicagonista.

I love using language in my teaching with toddlers and preschoolers. It&#8217;s amazing their capacity for learning. For the last few weeks we have been using Spanish words in our songs. Singing about head, shoulders, knees and toes, high fives and of course, COUNTING.

Everyone has bad days. The question is how do you deal with them? What tricks do you employ to pick yourself up. I turn to music. Music has a way of filling in the cracks and crevices of a broken heart and help it beat a little stronger. My favorite music is showtunes. That&#8217;s what [...]]]></description>
