We Won the Liebster Award! :)


My blogger friend Jamie from Minnesota Girl in LA blog awarded me the "Liebster Award.  This award is bestowed on blogs who have great value and deserve more attention.  I have never won a blogger award before, so of course I researched it (I am a geek).  I found that Liebster is German for dearest, beloved or favorite. Being someones favorite is something that makes me smile. I write to inspire others to get out and experience life with family. Combining travel with education is my passion. Not everyone can learn through reading only, therefore learning through hands on experience is key to finding your passion.
 
It is an honor to receive this award and nominate other Bloggers for "Liebster Award. Here is my pick of (5) great Bloggers who deserve to be read:

Alexis - North on Harper
 

I hope that you will take a moment and read some of these amazing Blogs. As always I wish everyone  peace and friendship.


Sincerely,

Alma

Thanks so much!!!! And congrats to you as well!!!!

As for the term Liebster--- my dad is FOB German and we speak it in our home a lot. One of the names he would call us kids is "Liebchen" which means little love...... sorry for the digression, but I thought you would appreciate it :)

How to make a California Mission Model.

Learn how to make a California Mission Model at home or in the classroom. We made this project as part of the California Public School Fourth grade requirement in a group setting. Continue to read on to get the supply list and instructions for a successful mission model. On an ordinary day, I was reminded how amazing kids really are when there are no limits. Just as equally amazing are the teachers who guide them and teach them everyday.  I am very thankful for the opportunity that I was given as a parent volunteer.  The day was like a beautiful dance where parents, teachers and students came together for a common goal. The goal was to make models of California Missions from a simple picture and lots of cardboard.  I can honestly say the goal was reached and everyone deserved an "A".

State Testing and a letter of encouragement

State Testing CCSS SBAC is starting next week for our area.  This semester, my son's fourth grade teacher has asked that I write him a letter of encouragement.  She gave us a few weeks notice. I have, in the past few days, written a few handwritten notes of encouragement. Then, I would wake up the next day realizing that it was not loving enough and second guessing myself. This task has been a little hard for me.  Then, the final email reminder came from the teacher. It read as follow: "This is just a friendly reminder to please send a letter of encouragement to your student to be opened this coming Monday, May 1. Students will be given the letters prior to taking their first test."  Oh my goodness, I have to get it done!!! So, I put on my big girl pants and re-wrote the letter for the 5th time. This time, I made it classroom friendly and left out lots of the I love you's and all the mushy stuff I had written before. The letter went something like this:  Dea
