Do this with your littles before their hand grows too big!
Proverbs 22:6
Start children off on the way they should go,
and even when they are old they will not turn from it.

If you’re looking for an academically rigorous environment that builds leadership qualities and character development through a biblical perspective, check out MetroWest Christian Academy! I teach 6th & 7th grade there and my children are currently in 1st & 2nd grade and we love it.

Yesterday came to MCA to give our students and staff a special surprise for our ABC COUNTDOWN TO SUMMER!

Thank you Chick-Fil-A ❤️

Five years ago, I took four little emerging bilinguals on a story walk in the woods. Our featured reader, Cesar, is now graduating from 8th grade!

In celebration of his accomplishment, I have a Storytime Bilinguë throwback that I never got around to editing or publishing.

Proudly I present to you “When Spring Comes” by Kevin Henkes, read by 9-year-old Cesar!

This was recorded in May 2021 and never edited! Now our reader, Cesar, is preparing to start high school in the fall.

Would you get stronger so you can live longer for them?

Would you start eating healthier so they have a better example of eating healthier?

Would you keep your promise to yourself that you’d do anything for them?
