INTERVIEW WITH TEACHER JENNIE FITZKEE!
Jennie Fitzkee
Please help me welcome teacher Jennie Fitzkee to Jemsbooks.blog Interview Segment. Jennie is the first teacher that I have had the pleasure to interview. Jennie is a lovely lady and an exceptional teacher of preschool. I happened upon her fabulous blog and have enjoyed reading about her classroom, students and what she has accomplished with these young children. She is utterly amazing.
Thanks so much, Janice.
My pleasure, Jennie. The stage is all yours.
1. What does a teacher need to do to be successful?
Pay attention to children. The lesson being taught by you will only be meaningful if children are engaged and interested. Does that mean the child is more important than the lesson? Yes, it does. Let me give you a few examples: A high school history teacher in upstate New York was beginning to teach about the…

Boulevard Project Update: Success!
Three years ago, I decided to do something different with a scruffy patch of weedy grass on the municipal boulevard next to my driveway. The actual grass was losing the battle with weeds I didn’t like — dandelion (Taraxacum) and hairy cat’s ear (Hypochaeris radicata ). It occurred to me to introduce a better class of weed and make the spot look better than bad. So began the Boulevard Project.
My plant choices were inspired by the plantscape along my cycling route to work, a bike path parallel to one of the main highways into Victoria — chicory, Queen Anne’s lace, red clover, beach pea, and St. John’s wort. These plants in bloom made the roadside quite ornamental in July and August, with no watering at all. So far, I’ve established only two of them on my boulevard — chicory and Queen Anne’s lace.

About this book…
On her own wedding night, beautiful and complicated Evie White leaps off a cliff to her death.

Following a twisted trail of clues leading to Evie’s darkest secrets, they begin to realize they never knew the real Evie at all…
My review…
I do love a twisty tale and thankfully The Night She Died is a dark and VERY twisty tale that revolves around some rather unlikeable and dubious characters! When Evie White jumps off a cliff on her wedding night, the shock brings together her husband and her best…
