D U R I N G PLAY

Hi Everyone!

Hope you all are having a Blessed Day, like my granddaughter, and I. It was on the Cloudy Side today outside, but not indoors. Creativity never retires through God’s Grace for us. Thank you LORD!

On yesterday we made a Clean Up Train to help make Clean Up Time Fun.

My granddaughter also took sometime to point out the Alphabets, asking me what the letters were.

Today, we made a Drum Set and a Rattle/Shaker/Noise Maker made from empty cans, decorated with pages from a catalog, and clear packaging tape. We also added a Purple Fabric for carrying.

Next, it was time for some coloring, writing, and even Story Time with my pal Douglas.

Be BLESSED,
Mtetar

It’s a T R A I N

IN the M A K I N G

Hi Everyone!

I’m Thankful as always to see another day, despite the weather. Today we are having a wet, and snowy day on my side of town.

My granddaughter, and I took time off to watch the snow fall. She never seems to take a day off from learning through play. Today’s Schedule was set by her, and on her list were Flash Cards, a Video as a review of things she knows, Free Play, and of course Naptime.

During her Naptime, I decided to go through fabrics, for an up coming project, by GOD’S GRACE. Here are some photos of the fabrics. One is a printed, and the other is mixed three in one.

Hope you all are having a Blessed Day.

LEARNING through play

Hi Everyone!

My granddaughter and I started our day by listening to songs of Praise on Pandora. I’m so thankful she likes music, and dance. After Praise and Worship which she loves,  it was time for Learning through Play.

The Lessons for the day included some work at our CREATIVE BOARD. I wrote down numbers, drew shapes, and asked questions, and she answered. My granddaughter likes being a teacher, and therefore enjoys writing, along with other creativity of her own. She also likes to ask me her favorite question, what’s that? When she asks that question, it is her way of playing the Teacher’s Role.

Words of the day are:

And the Bonus was the word STOP, and OCTAGON another shape to add to the others she already learned.

We ended our day by going for a walk.  She was able to recognize the shape Diamond, the color Green, and Black.

We noticed it is beginning to look a little like Christmas. Gift Boxes under the tree outside.

Thankful for another Blessed Day.

Be Blessed Everyone!

S P E C I A L and Different

Hi Everyone! I’m G R A T E F U L on this day after the observance of Thanksgiving Day. Grateful for so many reasons namely: (1). The Gift of Life through God’s Grace. (2). It was a Special kind of observance for me to observe my Teenage Grandson baked his first Cornbread. It was of course an excitement for him, and the best baked Cornbread as well. It was indeed delicious, and our entire family had a great time with the Cornbread.

(3). It was my family first time ever not being wasteful on Thanksgiving Day. We cooked enough, had plenty to eat, and didn’t have to waste, or throw away any food. All thanks to GOD we were mindful. (4). After dinner we played several games, saying why we were grateful for each person, and for ourselves. (5). The all time favorite Apple Pie was served after the games. Our day was God sent, peaceful, and Blessed. What was your day like? I’m forever Grateful, Mtetar

FIELD Trip

Hi Everyone!

Yesterday was Blessed, and busy one despite the rain. I’m sure others needed the rain more than some.

My granddaughter were Blessed to see another day through the Grace of God. We interacted by taking turns of being the teacher by asking one another questions, which she always enjoys. After our sessions with activities such as Flash Cards, reviewing of colors, letters, numbers, and identifying pictures, we went walking.

I went walking, what did you see?
I saw SHAPES:
