Dr. Kathy Director of Education Back home from an amazing week of discovery and reflection in Velshire, Vermont where my family can be traced back three generations.  Was a pretty intense experience and as a result, I am enriched and empowered to take on the final few weeks of the school year. Let’s all agree [...]

Dr. Kathy Director of Education Recreational Play Can Be Far More Important Than Academics

Dr. Kathy Director of Education Happy Mother’s Day to all you hardworking moms out there who in and out of the classroom provide those essential tools our children need to make a positive contribution to our world.  Based on my busy travel history it shouldn’t surprise any of you that I took Mother’s Day on [...]

Today I am restraining myself from sharing how adorable my 16 month old grandson is and how much joy he brings into our lives every day.  But in the spirit of relevance to www.missmaggie.org, Bennett’s genuine enthusiasm about the outdoors and interest in the simple pleasures, such as a blade of grass, not only fascinates [...]

As I boarded a plane for Nashville last week, my husband was landing at the same airport returning from a three month stint in Vietman on a project.  And not for the first time, I had an epiphany…my dogs are the only ones these days enjoying a stable home life!  This week, Greg is home [...]

Dr. Kathy Director of Education Last week I spent a few days with Maggie’s Earth Adventures’ Executive Producer and travel partner, Mason, checking out the 39th Annual Head Start Conference in Tennessee.  And although Nashville may be best known as an epicenter for music, I’m singing its praises for how great the food was!  Walking [...]

Dr. Kathy Director of Education This week I’m feeling especially grateful for all of our Maggie Partners, fellow educators who have taken the incredible initiative to help cultivate and foster environmental stewardship in our classrooms.  Early this month, I was in Costa Rica with our executive producer, Mason, visiting Earth University where a rigorous 4 [...]

We asked and you delivered!  Thanks to our good friend Bruce Reid  who had access to some wonderful hummingbird photos by Bill Stripling we can offer the photograph below to use with our Hummingbird activity this week.  Thanks!

Maggie partners: I live for my grandson, drink for my coffee and breath for poetry.  And as my grandson just paid a visit, my broken Keurig has been replaced and April is Poetry month, life is good! In the spirit of killing two birds with one stone this week (what a cruel idiom), check out [...]

Dr. Kathy Director of Education The other day I was walking down a street in Washington D.C. and I saw a little display in a window. Tiny figurines and gardening implements showed a community working to create a garden. I thought back to all the encounters with these small plots of produce I have seen [...]

Dr. Kathy Director of Education Dear Maggie Partners: This week our Executive Producer, Mason, and I are hailing from that tropical paradise, Costa Rica, famous for their fantastic beach scene and extraordinary night life, the two key components to an amazing spring break excursion!    Well, fact is we both like to retire early so packed [...]

What will you do to save a drop?  http://www.unwater.org/worldwaterday/hungry_thirsty.html There are 7 billion people to feed on the planet today and another 2 billion are expected to join by 2050. Statistics say that each of us drinks from 2 to 4 litres of water every day, however most of the water we ‘drink’ is embedded [...]

Dear Maggie Partners: This week my life has been dramatically elevated by a new introduction into our family, an in-home coffee making system (Keurig for the curious).  Starbucks has released its hold on me as I lounge in my pj’s enjoying my tasty brew. And though I tend to function exclusively on caffeine, we can’t [...]

Dr. Kathy Director of Education A few days shy I wish you a Happy St. Patty’s day and hope you enjoy all the fun and frivolity this festive holiday delivers every year. This week I have more than green on my mind as it’s likely to take more than just the luck of the Irish [...]

Maggie Partners: Last week I spent treasured time with my adorable 15 month old grandson and as always was amazed by how quickly children this age grow, change and learn seemingly every waking moment.  And while watching Bennett negotiate his world and make new discoveries, his voracious curiosity brought to mind a quoteby the famous [...]
