I had the opportunity to be on Fox 59 Morning News!

I was pretty nervous and we had to move so fast that I couldn’t remember what I wanted to say! LOL! I wasn’t able to actually get a copy of the video so I taped it from my daughter’s television so I could share this with everyone:)

I have blogged about some of the activities I show in the newsclip – you can see the vinegar and baking soda experiment here and you can view the picture frame activity here and you can view how to make colorful rice for sensory play here !

I was told to bring lots of props and I had fun choosing ideas that would be fun and colorful! I have been invited back to present once a month as long as we can come up with some ideas the producers like. So I have to get thinking!!

I finally got my 2 and 1/2 minutes of fame!!!

Every time I think I know everything I need to know about teaching young children, God says, "Hold on a minute!" and gives me a new challenge.

Let me tell ya...

With each new challenge that you overcome, you will find yourself better equipped and more passionate about teaching young children.

God didn't call wimps to lead, teach, or care for His children. Nope, he has high expectations, so get ready. You will have to give your very best but after teaching for over 30 years, I can tell you that it is a wonderful and rewarding journey.

Whenever your calling feels hard, just remember, 'He who began a good work in you (and in the children you serve) will be faithful to complete it.'
