School is a guided daily curriculum to help caregivers
structure 15 minutes each day in a stimulating creative activity with young children.
Jessie's goal in creating the curriculum is to make learning fun by providing easy projects that
nurture critical-thinking skills, literacy, numeracy and
creativity at a young age. Featured: help children learn the
special pride that comes from having made a gift yourself!
Think Lexington is home to Jessie's blog. Originally the site was used to connect cross-town conversations about education. Visit "Kid Pages" for materials to explain local government to your child (or to a friend)! When Jessie created the pages Lexington was facing a large budget shortfall and turned to voters to decide whether the majority wished to address the shortfall by raising taxes or cutting programs. Many residents (including Jessie) were just learning how the town's local government worked. The Kid Pages were designed to help all of us gain an overview of the budget process and to learn how to make our voice heard! Since designing these materials, Jessie has stepped up her level of participation. First, she ran a successful campaign to serve as a Town Meeting Member. In March 2009 Jessie was elected to serve a 3-year term as a School Committee member.
