Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Next week we will be sitting down with family and friends and reflecting on Thanksgiving and what it means. (along with the turkey, pumpkin pie, some football and other cool things.) One of the things I am thankful for are the wonderful patrons and friends that I work with (in some cases, they are one and the same thing). Thanks for letting me be part of your community.

Just a heads up. There are new pictures posted on the website although I am still editing some of our pictures.

Octobers passing

November is here and all our holiday programming is beginning. I hope to see many of my friends here over the next month.

I was listening to christmas carols on the radio (101.5) (no groaning) and thought what a great way to introduce new words to our children. I mean "Deck the Halls with boughs of holly". For a child, that's a pretty confusing song. Are they talking about the wood thing outside the back door? Are they going to bow with their friend Holly? And by the way, who are they? The next line isn't any better. What's a tis?

Statistically, the more words a child knows before they enter kindergarten, the better they will do when it is time for them to read. So singing songs with your child is a great way to intoduce new words to them. You and your child will have fun and you will be helping them to succeed.
