Walk

Jeff and I have decided to join our church in supporting the Pregnancy Support Services of Wake Forest (PSSWF). I've posted some information about this program below:

PSSWF offers the following free and confidential services:
  • Medical Clinic:  Pregnancy Testing and Ultrasound confirms the pregnancy and “age” of the baby and is followed by a consultation with a nurse and a patient advocate for education on fetal development and the options for the pregnancy decision: abortion, adoption, and parenting.  The woman participates in 1 or more sessions to identify her obstacles and to obtain resources and solutions for her pregnancy decision.

  • “Next Steps”:  an ongoing program that provides support to the woman and her family throughout her pregnancy and until the baby turns 1-year old. 
o   Mentors and classes teach them about healthy pregnancy, labor & delivery, infant care, parenting past the first year, financial management, & healthy relationships. 
o   Mothers get to earn the material items she needs (diapers, wipes, toiletries, car seats, crib, etc).
o   Community Connections provide her with her baby shower, shopping for maternity clothes, post-delivery work clothes, and other items.  The caring community connections are intended to give her more relational support that last past the Next Steps program.

Post-Abortion Care:    With the fact that 1 in 4 women in the US will have at least 1 abortion by age 45, PSSWF is commited to providing post-abortion healing to women and men.  Whether the woman leaves the PSSWF clinic, aborts and comes back the next week or had an abortion 20 years ago…all are welcome to come for help healing. 



We are walking 4,000 steps on April 28th. We would greatly appreciate you praying about supporting Jeff and myself in this walk. Our individual websites to donate are listed below. The donate button is on the right side of the screen in the green box if you are able to support us!

Bunny

About a year ago I got a bunny as my classroom pet. I have wanted a Netherland Dwarf bunny for quite some time because of their cute ears and they stay small. Small bunny = perfect for classoom life. So after the beloved Max (my old guinea pig) left us, I knew now was the time to get a bunny! Thank goodness my sister Anna looks on Craigs List all the time for animals because she actually found a Netherland Dwarf Bunny that was up for adoption! YAY! I got her a couple of days after I found the post and was so excited. The kids decided to name her Maddi after a character in the book Fever 1793 . If you like historical fiction books,  you should check it out because it's really good! Little did I know that bunnies are full of personality! On her first day home she bit me 3 times and got me 2 times with her nails. Good thing is now she likes me (most of the time) and is much more friendly! She lets the kids in the class pet her and feed her. She also hops around the classroom....

Christmas Parade

Because I'm a sucker for parades so we took Naomi to her first Christmas parade! It was a very nice day out! We tried Naomi's sunglasses on her...but they didn't stay on long! Every time a band passed Naomi was completely enthralled in them! Future band nerd in the making! :)

Sun

We started our study of Space with the Sun. We first read Genesis 1:14-19 and talked about how God created the Sun and the Moon. We then watched this very cute video made by Story Bots. If you haven't seen this show on Netflix, I highly recommend it! I ordered this book off of Amazon and we read the portions about the sun together. Next we read a poem about the sun and they colored a picture of the sun. For Math, we sorted pictures of the Sun, Moon, and Earth. Naomi and Isaiah took turns counting how many of each object we had. Isaiah continued counting, while Naomi started to add. How many Suns and Moons are there? How many Moons and Earths are there? Very cute activity that you can find here .  For phonics Naomi and I played this game to practice CVC words. We each drew 5 cards and tried to find a place to put them that made an actual word. We were able to play this game a couple of times! I was very surprised at how much fun Naomi had playing this! When we were finished playing...
