TheRose Princess and the Special Gift By:Mike de Vetter OnThe Back Notfar from here lives the Rose Princesses in a kingdom ruled by herfather the king. One morning she awakes to find a splendid package atthe end of her bed full of gifts and a card from her fatherencouraging her to use the gifts wisely. Unaware of what lies ahead,the princess sets out on a journey of learning and adventure whereshe meets several people who are in need. Suddenly she realizes thatshe has gifts that can help them, and she is faced with a choice:keep the gifts, or help the others by giving her gifts away. MyThoughts Iwish that there were more books like this in the world. Books thattaught children that it is better to give than to receive. Sadly inthis day in age some children are selfish and don't realize how hardtheir parents have to work to give them what they got. They don'ttake care of their stuff and don't seem to care about anything. Iknow this is not the case with all … [Read more...]

See The Light Crossmaker Review and Giveaway!
My Thoughts on Crossmaker Myfamily can't seem to get enough of the See The Light DVD's! TheChildren are learning how to draw and learning stories about theBible all at the same time! Crossmaker is beautiful artwork set tothe Easter Story! The children are able to hear the story of Jesusbeing read to them as they are watching drawings to go along with thestory. After the story is done the children are able to learn how todraw the pictures depicted in during the story! How cool is that? Justas I always do I sat each of the day care kids in front of the TVwith their own drawing pencils and paper. The children love sittingthrough the story and learning the gospel. But, not as much as theylearn the drawings. Each child sits very still and tries so hard tomake their artwork as good as on TV. Even the younger children trytheir best and it is so special to see their individual styles emergefrom their drawings. Ialso enjoy watching the children show their parents what … [Read more...]

Flashcards as Learning Devices!
Flashcards as Learning Devices When I was growing up my mom liked todrive home important lessons with some big and inevitably creased andcrumpled flashcards. These lessons covered everything from “A isfor Apple” to the right-of-way rules before our driver’s tests.We tended to lose as many as we kept, but little by little, thesesimple tools and this simple process actually helped us learn. Andthere is more and more evidence supporting the idea that flashcardsare still an effective learning device. Why Flashcards? When I’m teaching my own kids, Inotice that they can pick up new ideas pretty quickly, but as soon asthey are in hand they get misplaced somewhere in the mass ofdeveloping neurons. Getting them to hold on to these new concepts orideas was the real challenge. My kids were doing okay in school, butI believed they could do better. And I remembered what it was likewith those old, creased and crumpled flashcards. They worked for me.Why not try it with my … [Read more...]
