Jordan Jarecke Inclusive Early Childhood Education, 2013

Our Lady of Lourdes in Denver, Colorado
I love it here. It is a very small staff, who works hard to ensure it's students are loved and learning. We are a classical education school which means we focus on the beauty of the world around us through wonder, poetry, classical literature and even Latin. My preschool kids are loving learning Latin.

I ensure that we spend many hours of our weeks outside learning about the world around us and enrich our classroom with different things we find on our nature walks or out in our playground. We go on wonder walks where we ask questions about our world. We also learn through our books from our library and different lessons our parents and grandparents teach us.

I brought a lot to my classroom from my different special education classes and my beloved time at Ruth Staples Child Development Lab. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln shaped me into the loving well-educated teacher that I am today. I couldn't be more thankful to UNL.
