During these two months, will you share with me what you like about your residing state? The New Monday Show There were only a few featured songs used for the Book of Judges (Holy Bible) discussions. We concluded with praise and worship, and now we begin new discussions within the Holy Qu'ran (next Monday). sherleneonline.org 24/7 Let's talk Cleaning up After a Disaster: Reassuring Children and Yourself Source: Author Unknown Personal contact is reassuring.

From the Editor Prayers are shared for the Boston Marathon victims.  Earth Day is Monday: Many communities are having events now through Arbor Day (April 26, 2013). Most often when we think of family at the center, we think of our unique family tree (your mom's side and your dad's side). How will you celebrate nature with your child(ren)? NewMonday Show The lecture included the death of Sampson, and the division of a female (into 12 parts). sherleneonline.org 24/7 Let's talk Gardening and Children Gardening allows children to plan and work together to create something they believe is important, and it allows opportunities for learning: reading, writing, math, and science. A garden doesn't have to be planted outside or require dozens of kinds of plants.  A cut-in-half gallon milk jug will do (or a glass gallon container is better) just fine. Allow young children to do "research" to find out what kinds of plants might grow best in your yard or in contai

From the Editor April's hosted event is spring cleaning month and it's tax time.  Let's clean our dwellings and  finances for the better.

Out of your unique household: planting grass, pulling weeds, planting flowers and shrubbery, etc. Why not design a birdhouse for your neighborhood birds? and Pay bills, taxes, and insurance on time: Make a list of possible ways to cut down on the expenses or operating

From the Editor I hope everyone enjoyed their bonding time with family and friends during Resurrection weekend.  This week, I would like to discuss "colorful beginnings."  Spring is the time of year for newness and an abundance of nature's colorful images. So let your child(ren), grandchildren, little nieces and nephews, or little cousins enjoy the season.  The NewMonday Show Still in the Book of Judges (Holy Bible). I must admit that maybe I should advise parental discretion because there is a lot going on: virginity, wars, death, and births. sherleneonline.org 24/7 Let's talk  Color and Art We grown-ups provide the time, the space, the materials, and the atmosphere needed to create the wonderful works of art that only children can create.   In valuing a child’s first artistic attempts, however, we should appreciate the beauty of the color and design rather than worry about the finished product. Real art for children is personal .   Art can be as sim
