My Mommy School Philosophy
Mommy School is all about constructive fun with developmentally
appropriate learning!
My philosophy is that toddlers learn through experiences. I believe that toddlers
learn by seeing and doing, so Mommy School is intended to be action-based. I
believe that most 2- and 3-year-olds are not yet ready for pencil/paper
activities simply because they dont learn this way! My hope is to provide you
with a few tools to help guide your toddlers learning.
For me, the most exciting part about teaching my toddler is seeing the world
through his eyes. He is starting to understand the world for the very first time!
Because this is the first time that our toddlers are exposed to many concepts,
please dont expect your toddler to catch on immediately. It can be difficultat times to gage your own success because toddlers cant always
communicate exactly what they are learning. You will see their progress later
on as they continue to build connections to the world around them!
I compile a variety of activities in my Mommy School units, but I dont expect to
do them all. Allow your child to experience letters, numbers, colors, shapes,
and other thematic elements in their own unique way. You will quickly see that
your child thrives with some learning methods and not others. Pick and choose
activities that work best for you and your child.
I am trained as an Early Childhood Educator, and I taught First Grade for 4
years. However, I am building my Mommy School units from a mothers
perspective. I am a Mom first, and a Teacher second.
Remember that I have searched the web high and low seeking the very best
toddler activities. I am not the genius behind all of themI simply gather them
all in one place. Be sure to look at the credits section for more great ideas!
Most of all have fun! Children will see your attitude, and will respond similarly.Enjoy discovering the world with your child.
Good luck!

I Am the FlagRuth Apperson Rous
I am the flag of the United States of America.
I was born on June 14, 1777, in Philadelphia.
There the Continental Congress adopted my stars and stripes as the national
flag.
My thirteen stripes alternating red and white, with a union of thirteen white stars
in a field of blue, represented a new constellation, a new nation dedicated to
the personal and religious liberty of mankind.
Today fifty stars signal from my union, one for each of the fifty sovereign states
in the greatest constitutional republic the world has ever known.
My colors symbolize the patriotic ideals and spiritual qualities of the citizens of
my country.
My red stripes proclaim the fearless courage and integrity of American men
and boys and the self-sacrifice and devotion of American mothers and
daughters.
My white stripes stand for liberty and equality for all.
My blue is the blue of heaven, loyalty, and faith.
I represent these eternal principles: Liberty, justice, and humanity.
I embody American freedom: Freedom of speech, religion, assembly, the press,
and the sanctity of the home.
I typify that indomitable spirit of determination brought to my land by
Christopher Columbus and by all my forefathers - the Pilgrims, Puritans, settlersat James town and Plymouth.
I am as old as my nation.
I am a living symbol of my nation's law: The Constitution of the United
States and the Bill of Rights.

I voice Abraham Lincoln's philosophy:
"A government of the people, by the people, for the people."
I stand guard over my nation's schools, the seedbed of good citizenship
and true patriotism.
I am displayed in every schoolroom throughout my nation; every schoolyard
has a flagpole for my display.
Daily thousands upon thousands of boys and girls pledge their allegiance to
me and my country.
I have my own lawPublic Law 829, "The Flag Code" - which definitely
states my correct use and display for all occasions and situations.
I have my special day, Flag Day. June 14 is set aside to honor my birth.
Americans, I am the sacred emblem of your country. I symbolize your
birthright, your heritage of liberty purchased with blood and sorrow.
I am your title deed of freedom, which is yours to enjoy and hold in trust for
posterity.
If you fail to keep this sacred trust inviolate, if I am nullified and destroyed, you
and your children will become slaves to dictators and despots.
Eternal vigilance is your price of freedom.
As you see me silhouetted against the peaceful skies of my country, remind
yourself that I am the flag of your country, that I stand for what you are -
no more, no less.
Guard me well, lest your freedom perish from the earth.
Dedicate your lives to those principles for which I stand:
"One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
I was created in freedom. I made my first appearance in a battle for human
liberty.
God grant that I may spend eternity in my
"land of the free and the home of the brave" and
that I shall ever be known as "Old Glory," the flag of the United States of
America.

Yankee Doodle
Yankee Doodle went to town
A-riding on a pony
Stuck a feather in his hat
And called it macaroni.
Yankee Doodle, keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandyMind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy.
