We as a family are guided by our strong set of beliefs morals and values as well as the needs of our family to remain and fortify our strength as one family acting on behalf of our children with their needs emotionally physically socially academically spiritually developmentally and all else that is crucial to their functioning and thriving as healthy well rounded well adjusted well educated and trained upstanding pillars and citizens of their family, community, society, and country! We are governing our behaviors and intentions in supporting the health and all around well being of our children as God and Country asserted is our right as one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all believing that we are answering to our children's call to learn in a Montessori supported approach rather than forcing them to conform to one right way of uniform learning. Our children are individuals and all have special needs in how we help guide them, instruct them, and support their educational needs and goals We simply want to share our school's efforts and achievements and look to enjoy exploring all the different programs and materials that are out there so that we do do right by our children by expanding the resources and variety of choices and options that are available to them. We are a no conflict peaceful loving christian family and we are not looking to engage in any conflicts or battles with others for we respect our fellow neighbor and expect the same courtesy in return! So now that we have gotten that out of the way, bring on the school supplies!!! :o) I love arts and crafts and just so you know how totally nutty I am, the other day I had some Elmer's glue on my hands from an earlier project with the kids and while my oldest daughter was helping them wash their hands and get ready for snack, I caught myself peeling it off of my hands without even thinking about what I was doing, and I loved how it felt when it wound itself around my cuticles and fingernails-- so of course I had to do it again and it reminded me of this time I was in 2nd grade. One of my friends introduced me to this great project; you take the glue bottle and pour a pretty fair amount onto the vinyl pencil pouch that is from your three ring binder, spread it out to what we now as moms know is how you make homemade fruit roll-ups :o) and when it dries, you cut out fingernails. Yep, you get the scissors and shape them to say Dolly Parton nails and then you decorate them with all your little glitter goodies and markers, paints, stickers, etc. COOL OR WHAT!!! Okay, even my girls thought mommy was having a SPECIAL moment!!! I love it when I get to just hang out with the girls and be a weirdo!!! :o)I'm so not cool but they don't know it yet so it's all good!!! :o)
