Reading should not be presented to children as a chore, a duty.  It should be offered as a gift.”  – Kate DiCamillo This peaceful moment... The girls were ready for bed. But before we could send them off to bed, we ended the night with a story. My husband read them both a story and they giggled and wriggled. We love that they enjoy us reading to them.    May their love for books continue to grow.  ❤  Each Thursday I will be posting a peaceful moment.

Here are a few things that took place during the festival... 1.  All the kids were loving the puppet riding a tricycle.  2. Just a quick view of part of the Downtown area.  3. We were entering the Bubble crossing area. Small bubbles, big bubbles, and a lot of colorful ones as well. 4. Art on the street.  A local artist came and created amazing images on the sidewalks. So much talent! 5. The BIG toaster oven!  This was such a fun event for all ages.  *** Each Thursday I will be posting a peaceful moment.

Paper bracelet making. We used gems, sparkles, glitter, markers, scissors, and glue.  - My oldest absolutely loved them. I think she may have had more fun designing them.  My oldest daughter just started Kindergarten.  She is attending an online academy. I'm still teaching her from home, but this way she will still have a main teacher who will grade her work and live sessions with other students in her class. She will also attend field trips and much more! I'll continue to add in our own lessons and curriculum.  This morning we explored outdoors. This was for one of her science lessons. She observed a few lady bugs, a grasshopper and we talked about her five senses. We're excited to see how this school year goes.  Watching a quick introduction for a lesson.   Art lesson. - Learning about the different elements of shape. Straight line, curvy line, angle line, circles and dots. - We've gone over this during her preschool...
