The Grinch Day!


Hello Everybody! Because one of our Christmas stories is The Grinch Who Stole Christmas I decided to make a mini-unit day out of it.  

Book:
The Grinch Who Stole Christmas

Song: the Grinch music video and song

Craft: a Mr. Grinch head
Follow link to Tippytoe Crafts/Christmas

 
Start out by drawing the outline of the head
Then draw the outline of the hat
Finish by drawing the mouth and eyes.

Glue hat on first, then mouth, eyes, and use a black marker to draw in pupils and nose. Add cotton with felt glue on the santa hat.

Movie: How the Grinch Stole Christmas
 There are two versions of this movie. Either the old cartoon...or the newer Jim Carrey version, both funny and the kids will really enjoy.

We ended the school-day with a movie and a snack, overall a pretty fun afternoon, especially after the hard mental academic work of the morning.
I call this afternoon snack THE FALL SPECIAL. Take Trisket crackers and top with thinly sliced apples and cheddar cheese. Then broil until cheese melts. YUM!

A Mother's Prayer

Lord bless my home and anyone who enters. Lead me daily so that I am always aware of You! Whether educating my kids, cooking or cleaning may my attitude always be that of a servant. Give me the words to guide my children to You, to know You, Your character and love You, Lord. Please teach to have patience and to always be learning. Lord mold me through each stage of life so I am continually growing and pursuing You no matter what. Lord I want to be a great mom and wife and I know that if I look only to You for help that I can accomplish this, the love for my family that I desire to show them. Lord I'm amazed by You and I love You. Amen.

Full of Life, Full of Love

"The spirited child-often called "difficult" or "strong-willed"--possesses traits we value in adults yet find challenging in children. Research shows that spirited kids are wired to be "more"-by temperament, they are more intense, sensitive, perceptive, persistent, and uncomfortable with change than the average child." It seems as though we have three, and they are very much like me. What does this mean? I need to be compassionate, consistent, confident, controlled, all with a gentle yet firm approach. Yes my plate is full.

Motherhood: A rigorous training ground

What an awesome responsibility mothers have to their children. Cultural stereotypes promote the idea that giving birth miraculously endows women with kindness, compassion, and goodness. But we all know better. Many of us can witness that we are made more aware of our weaknesses and impatience after becoming mothers than we were before. Godliness and generosity are not prerequisites of giving birth; they are characteristics that God hones and whittles into our character over time. Motherhood provides a rigorous training ground where we can display practice and model the disciplines of love, honesty, and compassion before our children. --Rebecca Laird
