By Way of Introduction...

I have intended to begin a blog for a long time and, as with most new endeavors, I hope to get better as I go.
My name is Jane Diamond and I am a Master Teacher of 30 years. (Once a teacher, always a teacher.) entreprenuer and author.
I had a scrapbooking store, Memory Magic & More, for 10 years and have written a fundraising curriculum, Friendship Note Paper: The Fundraiser That Builds a Community of Learners. (Check out http://www.friendshipnotepaper.com/ and http://www.memorymagicandmore.com/

Because I am concerned about the direction public education is heading, I intend to share ...

• what I know.
• what I think.
• some "Eye-deas" of projects to try with your children.
• some titles of picture books that I love.

I will post on Thursdays and encourage your responses, own ideas and questions.
I hope this endeavor will "Tickle" your fancy.
                                        I hear: I forget.
                                        I see: I remember.
                                        I do: I understand.
