Little Larry Likes to:
It seemed a good idea to make a best friend early on in his new class. School started almost a week ago and larry negus jr. had already had his best bud “on lock!”. Dennis Reads; the freckled faced, chubby kid, that shared his fish shaped snacks on the very first day!

Love Letters to the Great Unknown
Through your eyes And yet, where I have been You are so small, my love, when you begin. Your importance and potential cause the world to shake, the heavens to open up, and an outpouring of wonder, fear, and worry in seemingly equal measure. You are the product of nature’s most basic, and most complex systems, propagation thanks to oscillation and collision. You are not always planned, but even when you are, the chaos that you bring is a vision of the infinite. The mysteries of the Universe are held in your tiny hands, before you have even drawn your first external breath. I’m in constant awe of you, baby.

Brown Eyes
Today was a calm, beautiful day and my 5-year-old son was still in bed. Oh, but when he gets up, the day will be on. As I started my day I knew it was going to be on with my son Shane. This five-year-old had a will like no other. He challenges me more than any job. It started with breakfast. “Shane, eat your oatmeal, it will make you grow up to be strong like your daddy.” “No, I don’t like oatmeal.” So here it starts, the disobedience, the testing of who will back down first. Him looking at me with those big brown eyes. I am determined I am not going to give in to his disobedience.

Children Learning Reading - Tips From A Father Myself
Learning to read at an early age is critical for a child's growth. It enables students to get a better understanding of their environment, collect knowledge from written sources, and give a tremendous source of amusement when they read tales and rhymes. Children grow at various rates, and some gain reading abilities faster than others. What matters is that you, as a parent, be aware of your child's maturity and reading level so that you can give them with suitable books and activities to help them progress.

From the lips of children
It was a cold, December morning and Mrs Johnson, the Year 2 teacher, switched on the lights in her classroom, rubbed her hands and set down her bags. The heating had not been on for long and the building was old, so she wrapped her coat a little more tightly around her body.

The Infamy of Children’s Books as Any Active Political Propaganda with the Big Question
Once in a rare while I must write an article because all my faculties have been put on the highest alert. My educational psychology about children’s cognitive development is crashing headfirst into a twitter post. It was advertising books for children on the topic of former president Trump who is still actively engaged in running for government again. This red flag is blowing fiercely in the storm of brainwashing impressionable children, questioning morality and democracy. The Big Question is what can we do about it?

If You Can't Say Something Nice Then Don't Say Anything At All
I will never forget the day I found out my life was going to forever change. It was the day before my 17th birthday. I had run away from home to live with my boyfriend and I was sleeping all the time. I thought it was probably the onset of depression and I had gone to see a doctor. As part of the routine physical check-up, I had to do a pregnancy test. Much to my surprise and my doctors... it came back positive. The good news was I wasn't depressed. The bad news was I was still a young kid myself and I was carrying a child. I remember feeling so scared of all the things that could possibly go wrong prior to childbirth. I wanted to ensure I was doing everything by the book to prevent any types of issues for him or her. My goal was for whatever I was going to have to be healthy. I read articles and books about anything and everything pertaining to babies before they are born. What to eat, what not to eat, what exercises to do, and what kinds of music to play would help in making my baby smart.

Harvard and Homeschool
Since the beginning of the Pandemic, there's been an 11 percent increase in homeschooling. Over 5,000,000 million kids now consider home, their school base. Some grieve the change, not believing the home school option a solid educational choice. In fact, many characterized the homeschool community as anti-social and grossly out of touch when I first heard about homeschool families in the 1970's.
