Scooters


Standing outside Nauvoo's classroom today, I marvelled at this scooter rack for the kids scooters they ride to school. I had to chuckle to myself, cause there is no way in kaukapakapa you could ride your scooter to school, yet here thee are sturdy racks to lock, yes lock your scooter to for the day, outside your classroom. Welcome back to the city!!!!

The Nastiest bug creates a war Zone

This entry has no photo's but as you read on you will see why. I did however need to be recorded for posterity!!! and to say We survived. Renata had been at school only 2 days, He went to his Last Montessori   Class on a Thursday. Friday morning Came and he began to throw up. Within the next 3 days 5 of my 6 children were down with the nastiest vomiting/diarrhea bug I have ever encountered. Arama was away on business, so I was on my own. This bug has had a reputation in our community, taking no prisoners and not missing any members of the family. Yes that bad. I was grateful Arama was away, but my big boy was due to go on his Pinacle Camp for a week with school on the Monday. I prayed that he would not get it.

When they achieve this goal they work on another goal. Hikawera is a bit of a dark horse... full of surprises. He does really well in class and he is achieving great results. He has been at school since June 7th and one of his goals is to know 50 sight words by the end of this term. He already knows 21 words (tested him on monday of this week). It is such a rewarding feeling watching him write and spell correctly these words. I was sooo impressed. (needless to say with the amount of praises I gave him because I was so impressed will keep him wanting to succeed I am sure!) Nauvoo's teacher loves to describe her as a "little sponge". She soaks everything in and retains it. Nauvoo also has goals to which one of them with her spelling was to move up to the next set, which this week she excitedly ca...

Return to Virtue

In recent times, for me I have come to realize that life can be quite difficult. There are amazing days, filled with wonderful friends and happy moments, then there are days where it feels like I am sitting in a dark corner and my legs won't move to turn the light on. Today I watched this clip. I have seen it before but it reminded me of a focus I can draw my energy to. Now even though it is a clip from my 'church' it is something that can be applied to ANYONE's life, especially, I feel, if you have children of your own or feel a little lost yourself. If anything, it can help you to become a better you... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=WyiSSBHJy6I I hope you find it as uplifting as I did today. Have a beautiful day.
