Me, surrounded by my support TEAM!!

Mom: Edna Peoples

My mom provided stability in my life.  She taught me strength and  courage.   Most of all she taught me family values and integrity.   She made sure I was raised in a Christian home.  My mom was my ROCK!  She became my best friend as I got older.  Due to  my mom's nurturing and guidance, I am able to have a close relationship with my daughter.   My mom is the the first on my post, because she was the first to lay the foundation for my future.  Everyone else continues to build upon what she had already started.

Sister: Doris Kelly

My sister was always there for me.  She combed my hair and prepared my dinner.  She taught me how to wash clothes and make my bed.  My sister taught me life skills that I was able to incorporate in my household when I started my family.  My sister also helped provide me with family traditions that I was able to pass on to my daughter so that she will be able to pass them on to my grandchildren one day.

 Aunt: Beulah

I remember my Aunt used to always cook a BIG family dinner on Sundays  and invite us over for dinner; which also gave us the opportunity to play with  our cousins.   Spending time with my cousins helped enhance my social development. Up to this day, I still have a close relationship with my cousins.   



My Favorite Book

Green Eggs and Ham is one of my favorite books because I loved this book when I was growing up and so did my daughter.   We sometimes incorporate the characters and theme into the daily lesson plan in my progam by serving green eggs and ham for breakfast, decorating hats, and making shirts to match the caractors in the book.  The children are encourage to dress up like the charactors.  We have so much fun during circle time and dramitic play.  

A quote about children that is meaningful to me

If there is anything that we wish to change in the child, we should first examine it and see whether it is not something that could better be changed in ourselves.
~Carl Jung
