Happy Mother's Day 母親節

今天Angela學校舉辦的母親節慶祝活動，Mommy 和外婆偕同參加。這是Angela、Mommy和外婆第一次在學校慶祝母親節。
老師先讓小朋友和媽媽玩，「抱抱」遊戲，讓大家暖身一下。

接下來小朋友一起唱一首「我愛媽咪」向參加的媽媽阿媽說「母親節快樂！」。小恩恩的韻動還不是很靈活，但是會跟著哥哥姐姐的肢體動作，模樣很有趣。

結束唱遊，老師讓小朋友休息一下，請參加的家長分享小朋友的趣事並說祝福期許的話。Mommy分享小恩恩咬同學的動作是不好的，希望小朋友動口多吃營養的食物、多歡笑並多歌唱。外婆也祝班上的小朋友多吃健康長大，將來成為能幹有用的人。

分享祝福的話之後，老師將小朋友分組進行插花的活動，讓小朋友認識康乃馨、桔梗、山櫻花及顏色，並發給小朋友一個小花籃，籃中有插花用的海棉。

Angela看到自己成功的插了第一朶康乃馨，高興得拿給Mommy看， 外婆也很高興一邊為小恩恩加油。

每個小朋友都很認真的在插花，這一排成品都是小朋友的傑作，準備下課後帶回家送給媽媽。
歷時2小時的母親節慶祝活動在插花結束時接近尾聲。最後老師幫家長和小朋友一起攝影留念。

看得出來，這時候小恩恩開始不耐煩又要照團體照的模樣，表情不是很愉快。

回家後，Angela很高興的將成品放在桌上讓大家一起欣賞。

Mommy希望小恩恩不僅像外婆說的能多吃，長高長大長健康聰明，將來成為能幹有用的人，也希望小恩恩有一個幸福美滿的人生。

新年快樂Happy Chinese New Year

農曆新年到了，Angela 和Mommy回彰化公公和阿嬤家過年。
Angela一到公公家，和阿嬤、公公抱抱後，就迫不及待要開始大玩起來，一會兒溜滑梯，一會兒畫畫，一下又開起玩具車、一下子又到廚房看阿嬤準備年夜菜，跑來跑去興奮得不得了。



過了一年Angela 成長了很多少，特別是上了學之後，語言能力明顯進步，有時還會唸歌謠。近來，在學校學的應景話語當然就是，『新年快樂』和『恭喜新年好』等拜年的詞。

今年過年Angela 又收到很多紅包，有阿嬤、公公、外婆、Mommy、舅舅和姑姑及姑丈。雖然Angela還不會算錢，不過今年她經知道紅包裡是放錢的，可以go shopping and pay for food。
新年新希望，主佑Angela平安喜樂，健康進步。
