A Children’s Book I Love
The children’s book that has been my
favorite over the years is The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. One of
the things I always enjoyed about this book is the illustrations in it. I think
that children learn by using illustrations. It’s a teaching book for me and I
like the fact that children can learn how to count and learn the days of the
week. It is a science lesson teaching you about a caterpillar from the time it
is an egg and then how it transforms itself into a beautiful butterfly. I find
this too be a book children love to read over and over. Over the years it still
continues to be one of my favorite and it is also easy for children to read.
This is the same book by niece used to teach her son how to count and the days
of the week.
A Story about a Child that Touched My Heart
The story that touches my heart the
most is of a child in our center who was taken from the public school system by
someone she didn’t know. The story hit the news here in Pa and was very
devastating to hear about. This child had things done to her no one could ever
imagine. She was left in an area in the cold and wet rain until someone on
their way to work heard the sounds of a little voice. As they walked closer to
the sounds to their surprise it was the little girl that had been taken. What
is more upsetting is that I have friends whose children attend that very same
school and it was a very scary feeling. This child now attends my after school
program along with 2 other siblings in our care as well. She is the sweetest
and most beautiful thing you ever did see. Too my surprise she is well aware of
what was done to her and has handled the situation very well. She is open and
talks about it when she feels she needs to. She plays and interacts with the
other children very well and thus far she is doing just fine. Her mother is
very pleased and just mentioned to me on Wednesday that all of her family is
pleased with our services and that it makes her feel good knowing how great of
a day all the children have even though two come in after school. This little
one can teach us adults a thing or two. It is important that we work hardtop
protect all children and whether in the school system or daycare never release
a child without going through proper protocol. This story will forever touch my
heart. This is just one of the reasons I am so PASSIONATE ABOUT CHILDREN. She
was just a child a young innocent child.
