Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and Bullying Question

I don't have a lot to say today. I know it is hard to believe. Below is another nursery rhyme for all your young kids to enjoy. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is the name, and I am sure you are most aware of it. DJ has completed his language arts book, and is on his last reading book.

I want to ask a question from all my mom readers. Who do you think should be responsible for bullying the child, parents, or the school? There is a reason I am asking, and I will post my whole thoughts tomorrow.

Caitlin has completed all the letter worksheets, and is now making the alphabet book. To do this take the worksheets, and glue them to a piece of construction paper, then find, and paste other things that start with the letter A. The child should do this with help from the teacher/parent. Once the book is completely assembled, you can use it for phonics, letter identification, word association, etc.

Reading, Arts And Crafts

Monday's are basically concentrated on reading, writing, and arts and crafts. Because Caitlin has to learn to sit and listen, and DJ needs to be comfortable reading aloud, I have decided that DJ will read to Caitlin.
