Make It-Take It

Amanda's Make It-Take It day was a great success for everyone involved. She had eight children attend. The kids enjoyed a variety of activities that included making apple designed windsocks, listening to stories, singing songs, playtime, and having apple snacks. The kids all had fun.

Amanda did an amazing job leading and teaching the group. She was prepared for the morning and full of the energy needed to manage a group of this size. She is a magnet of love and fun for children this age.

Daniel turned out to be a very valuable asset, especially during playtime. The boys loved playing with Daniel and looked up to him as the 'airplane, matchbox, lego expert.'

Stephanie was a junior assistant and did a great job as an example and leader during the songs and fingerplays.

As for me, I was on overall management and clean-up. The glitter was a big hit, but a big mess. Not to worry, the tile floors needed a good scrubbing anyways. I was beaming with pride when all was said and done. I love to watch my children find success and joy, and they all walked away uplifted by the events of the morning.

Don't worry if you missed the Make It-Take It for this month. We will be hosting another one in November. Look for details soon!

Amanda's post

Feel free to RSVP here.

Hello everyone,
This is Amanda Davis, and as many of you may already know, I am working hard to earn money for my upcoming Washington DC trip in the spring with the 8th graders from Hickman Charter School. As part of my fund-raising, I am hosting a special preschool program for children ages 3 1/2-5 years old one day a month. This program will be called Make it-Take It. It will be geared around a fun, interactive theme. It will include stories, arts and crafts, snacks, games, and a playtime.

I love working with little kids, and this would allow me to earn money in a fun way. Two years ago, my mom taught a pre-school for my little sister, Stephanie, and her church friends. I was able to work along side my mom, and it was a great learning opportunity for me as her assistant. For this program, I will be the teacher, and my mom will be my assistant.

There will be a new theme each month. Feel free to sign up on a month-to-month basis. Please see the attachment for October's information.

Email me or call me if you would like to reserve a spot for October. If you have any family members or friends that may be interested, please feel free to invite them to participate.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AMANDA!

On Saturday, Amanda celebrated her 13th birthday. She had a party with 11 of her friends on Saturday afternoon, and then on Sunday, we surprised her with a special open house with some of the families and teachers from church. She had a great birthday. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful daughter!

Happy Birthday, Amanda! We love you!

"Kitten-Sitting"

Melodie and Chuck Webb asked the kids to "kitten-sit" for their two little kittens for the weekend. The kids were so excited to have pets, even if for a short time. The kittens didn't have official names, so the kids named them Rainy and Playful. The kittens were bottle-fed every 5-6 hours, and there were always willing feeders. The Webbs paid the kids $20, but I feel like we should have paid them for the entertainment that it provided on the first rainy weekend since early spring. Although I am not a fan of indoor pets, I do have to admit that it was fun having the kittens for the weekend. It is like being a grandparent. Enjoy and send home!
