Carry Their Sweetness
I liked your comments on yesterday’s post so much that I wanted to give you something else to ponder. Do you think our world would be different if children could carry their sweetness into adulthood? If so, how? Have a great week!

So Special
I love children. I love working in Kindergarten. Like we all are, children are special to the Lord. In fact, they are so special to Him that He said, “Let the little children come unto Me, for the kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these,” ( The Holy Bible). I hope and pray that children will...

On The Mat
Michael and Fernando did well today. They remembered the words we reviewed and they also learned new ones. For many children, whether or not they succeed and enjoy learning depends on the attitude of the adults who are teaching. When it comes to a child, adults can’t afford to have a bad day,...

On The Road Again
My car is fixed. We picked it up yesterday, only to have the battery go dead. My mom reconnected the battery cable, so now it is fine. I am looking forward to helping in Kindergarten tomorrow. Have a great day!

With Children
Martha Stewart was released from prison yesterday. Michael Jackson is on trial for child molestation. Kobe Bryant’s accuser dropped her criminal case.

Good In Challenges
Today in Kindergarten, Joelle read, “Green Eggs and Ham” to me. She did a great job. She is such a smart girl, who wants to learn. When I see children who want to learn, I am encouraged about our future. I am also more motivated to help the kids for whom school may not come so easily. There is good,...

Nap Time Banned
I did not volunteer in Kindergarten this week. My friend had to attend a wedding in Florida. My Mom is the principal of an elementary school and her kindergarteners don’t have nap time anymore because our school system believes it cuts into valuable instructional time. Is that realistic, or are...
