Learning Letter W...

We had way too much fun learning letter W.

So much that this Mama almost did not want to move on to the next letter!

Kaitlyn and I started talking about the World. Still, such a hard concept to a little one.

Our sweet friends the Elders http://theelderadventurers.com/have opened Kaitlyn's eyes to ALL the little children of the world and swayed most of her decision when we decided to sponsor a child that lived on the opposite side of the World from us through Compassion International.

Kaitlyn picked a little girl from Africa who is 5 years old named Karidia.

We cant wait to send our sweet Karidia letters and learn more about her and her family.

The Elders also helped us learn about another letter W word..Water.

Stephen Elder used his birthday to raise awareness about the lack of Water in other countries. Kailtlyn had a lemonade stand to contribute to the cause and made $18.41 to go towards little ones just like her having access to clean water.

Read more about this cause here http://theelderadventurers.com/2013/08/anybody-story-18-stephen-elder-my-hubby/

We also talked about other Letter W words.. like...the Weather

And our Letter W scripture...to WAIT on the Lord.

Such another hard concept of a little one...who I am kidding...mommy needed to memorize this scripture the most. Letter X & Y you are up next!

Learning the Letter T, U, and V

We are on the countdown to Kinder and Little Miss memorizing 26 scriptures..

One scripture for every letter of the alphabet.

We had an amazing!!! opportunity to review our Letter S scripture, "serve one another with love"
K's bestie Marisa invited us to join her church's Serve Camp.

One day they sang to residents of Morning Glory & Manor Park assisted living facilities. The next day the girls picked up trash for Keep Midland Beautiful, and the last day they had a lemonade stand and used the proceeds to buy school supplies for those that can not afford them.

Such sweet acts of service!

Onto Letter T. After making our Turtle craft

we learned to "Trust in the Lord with all our heart"

Have I mentioned on my blog how much we like "The Rizers"?

They sing upbeat songs that are all scripture! The kids love them!

Letter U surprised us with a week to use our Umbrella!!

We had a whole week of raining days and after making a craft

We learned that God is our safety place when storms of life come.

Letter V was lots of fun! The kiddos were super impressed with this mama who made a volcano!

Our letter V verse taught us that apart from God, we can't bear fruit and be all God wants us to be.

We will finish up our next few weeks with 4 more letters and Little Miss will have hidden 26 sweet scriptures in her heart before Kindergarten.
Be still my heart, to have my little ones know Your truth Lord, it is the desire of my heart!
