A

The letter of the day is A

The Apple Tree
Way up high in the apple tree
Two red apples smiled down at me.
I shook that tree as hard as I could.
Mmmm...
Were they good!

Now, for the explanation of what we are doing. We pick a letter of the day (well, I do) and it goes with a rhyme in this case "The Apple Tree" . We say the rhyme, then Kenzie gets to act it out. And later today after school, we will be making Apple sun catchers and practicing to write the letter A. Kenzie's teacher gave me this website to promote her learning. I loved it so much that I decided to do the letter of the day thing every day so that I can continue her learning even through the summer time. I will probably figure out how to do the numbers, colors, and shapes too so that she will get it all. I will post a picture of the apple sun catcher after she makes them. I think that she will have fun with it. Have a great day and I look forward to a new letter tomorrow!

    I wanted to say thing when xander was little, i wanted to be able to do things with and have him actually understand what we are doing, lol. They do grow up quickly though. Our zoo was pretty little, but it was cute. I want to take him to the san fransisco zoo :D its really big.

    What is the website that you are using for the letter thing, i would love to do that with xander, he is just a learning sponge, he soaks up everything. He already knows most of his letters, but i would love to reinforce it :D


    ttys,

The importance of connections

 Many times, we don't take the opportunity in life to think about connections. Much like the way legos connect to erect the building or vehicle you are trying to create, without connecting pieces, our lives would fall apart. It's not often that we take time to reflect on those connections in meaningful ways. If I am honest, when we moved from Indiana back to Florida, we didn't appreciate the connections we had and so as I look back I wonder what life would have been like if we'd not only appreciated those connections, but supported them in meaningful ways.  Since moving to Greenville, not only have we made connections, but we've made it a part of life to connect with those people we've met that have become more like family than friends. We took the time to find a church that really believes in connecting with their people and not in a way that makes the patrons of the church feel like they are just a player in the game of chess and that player's job is to be

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
