Running Shoes by Frederick Lipp

Sophy and her mother are poor-they have a small home and a few animals. Sophy's father died because there was no doctor or hospital near the village, But Sophy has a secret wish-a wish for something that will change her life forever, and when the number man visits the village Sophy's wish might just come true. After Sophy received a pair of Running Shoes from The number man. She wanted to go to school., " But the school is "eight kilometres away over horrible roads" The shoes protected her feet from the sharp red rocks. She sailed throught the air the way a small flat stone skips over water. She jumped over little streams and ran over a road throught the jungle where only one car a month passed. Sophy ran faster and faster until finally she saw the one-room schoolhouse. A great book about Strong learning Spirits..................

I got this book from Sengkang Library on Friday, Is a wonderfull book. "Little Unicorn is lost in the forest until a fox, a badger, and a baby rabbit come to this rescue, When Rabbit gets into trouble, It's time for Little Unicorn to prove what a friend he can be in return." This reassuring story is full of magic. Ending Even Little Unicorn had rescue the Rabbit but he still said sorry to his mother. "I'm sorry." said Little Unicorn. " I didn't listen. I rushed into things. I didn't Think!" But his mother smiled at him. " You are kind and brave and I love you very much." It was and adventure Little Unicorn would never forget!.

Every Kid should receive/write notes

Kids love surprises and they also love to get notes. Parents can leave a notes for kid for giving them "encouragement" or just to say "hello". Use brightly colored papers and markers. Decorate the notes with stickers. Using your child's favorite animals or other toys, stage some silly photos (add a caption) with some silly words. Today, I had wrote a "Sorry" note to Sabrina just because sometimes I had lose temper on her.She said "Mummy, I forgive you because you LOVE me. Sabrina loves to write notes for Me and Daddy. This is a excellent idea for her to write and to express her feeling or Thank you notes to someone. and also some nice words from the books she reads...

After Sabrina had started creative writing and piano last month, she was very busy. Every week, she need to spend her time on her compo,on piano practise and also swimming. She has less time to do her homework too... and Oct whole month she did not manage to do any drawing. Finally, today she able to spend her time to do draw Cactus..., Her drawing skills much stronger now. I don want to force her to finish it so the coloring only managed to do on a week later. Drawing needs a lot of patience and focusing. Once the child able to focus well. she could do well on her work. Her ability and confidence in the Arts is getting stronger.
