JERSEY CITY, N.J., June 17, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Classrooms should be a vibrant and lively space where one starts to dream, nurture and develop this dream, then make it a reality. Time spent in these learning situations should be fun and enjoyable. This is what passionate teacher-author Patricia Squires strongly believes. She lives this belief by being the dedicated teacher that she is -- bringing mastery, love, assertiveness, and creativity in every learning experience she gives to her class. One of these wonderful activities her First Graders truly enjoy is One Room Schoolhouse in Jersey City, where they portray Pilgrims and Native Americans.
Join Squires and her students as they learn about the Pilgrims and Native Americans by reliving the interesting lives of these people.

From learning to portraying to understanding and craving for more, Squires has indeed nurtured a passion in her First Graders' hearts.
