SweetSmarties! I had an amazing conversation with Transitional Kindergarten teacher Megan Larquier this month! I've considered doing her job, have already done a version of it, and am currently earning a certificate to do it to a greater extent, if I choose to pursue that path in the future, so we were very well-matched for this discussion! She's incredibly knowledgable, and I was fascinated to learn what she has to share!

She has a Master's degree from Cal State Fullerton, and the Literacy component taught her all this Linguistics information that I studied too, in a different context, so hearing about that was such a joy to me, and definitely one of my favorite parts of our talk!

I also adored speaking about Social Emotional Learning of course, and it was so fun to nerd out about Human Development Theory as well!

I love her approach, and the children she teaches are so lucky to be in her class!

We agree on the significance of her role, and what a profound influence and responsibility she has to help these kids build a healthy foundation and literally learn how to be people!

I can't overstate how important and valuable that is, so to know how well she's doing it is such a treasure! What a gift to the world!

Anyway, I think I've gushed enough, so you'll need to listen to the episode to find out any more. lol I hope you feel even a fraction of the genuine intrigue, delight, and poignancy I felt during our interaction. <3 (:
