He is so SO talented. I have their CD and listen to it like everyday. HOW COOL! And I've been to eclessia before (just to the coffee shop and art gallery) with some of my friends when we were planning the invisible children night commute last year. Also very cool.Ashley Driskellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02503789503061415997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30303760.post-12360035489663712652007-02-27T19:19:00.000-08:002007-02-27T19:19:00.000-08:00Ha!

Some of the main purposes of nursery rhymes are: 1) They rhyme 2) Kids easily memorize them therefore allowing them to read it over and over again, giving them confidence and practice in fluency.<BR/><BR/>Since Dr. Seuss' birthday is this Friday we've been reading a lot of silly Seuss books. Benefits I've noticed: 1)The kids think they are hilarious. 2) A lot of them rhyme (Cat in the Hat's the best!). 3) Kids can memorize one page to read, therefore practicing fluency and confidence in reading.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I agree with you on the psychotic nursery rhymes. I hope ya'll are doing great! <BR/><BR/>Love from Austin, <BR/>Jenn :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30303760.post-59870780384395358882007-02-27T09:07:00.000-08:002007-02-27T09:07:00.000-08:00Here, here.

Mooney wanted was a friend, and here we have to read how the guy wants Marvin to leave the room immediately. <BR/>And the poor cat in Green Eggs and Ham! He does not want to try green eggs and I do not blame him. We're teaching our kids to eat moldy food in my opinion. Just once I'd like that story to end with the cat standing firm in his convictions and then we later find out he resisted the green eggs, which were actually laced with some lethal fungus.D.
