The Short Giraffe Teacher The Short Giraffe name comes from my last name (Carianne Short) and from the fact that I am intrigued by giraffes as a species. They are tall and I am short (literally) and I also work with the shortest students in education. This pod cast will cover topics that come up in the early childhood world. We will talk about my passions which include those ah-ha moments in early childhood, working with families in poverty, and literacy. Subscribe to this podcast and many others!
