Three crows


Three Crows.
Adapted from the song "Three Craws"

Three Crows sat upon the wall, sat upon the wall, sat upon the wall
Three Crows sat upon the wall on a cold and frosty morning.

Two Crows sat upon the wall, sat upon the wall, sat upon the wall
Two Crows sat upon the wall on a cold and frosty morning.

One Crow sat upon the wall, sat upon the wall, sat upon the wall
Onsat upon the wall on a cold and frosty morning.

The Napping House




It's finally 2013! 
2012 was truly great because I've kept this blog running and I got engaged!!!!

A special shout to Y.H. who found me on my blogger and we had the honour of being acquainted. She recently finished Langara College (just like me!) Sometimes I really think about the days in school for Early Childhood Education. There are really some things you can't just learn in books. It's about the hands-on experience. It truly is. I'm actually very thankful to be working in my dream career. I am thankful to work with the little ones who truly made my 2012 an awesome one.



Well, I guess it's time for me to show you my first felt story I've ever created. I remember rushing through it because I had a bunch of other papers to finish. Need I remind you, it was my first attempt and it wasn't my best effort. 
The story is called, "The Napping House" By Audrey Wood. I believe it's a book that's been on the shelves for quite a while. What intrigued me was the repetition and simplicity. Furthermore, it was a great story to control the volume of the crowd. With a quiet tone and some whispers, the children really get into it. I made two sets. One set with everyone sleeping. The other set is to have everything fly in the air. I wanted to really make this felt story "POP". 
Characters in the story: Granny, Child, Dog, Cat, Mouse, Flea

...in a cozy bed where everyone is sleeping.

I think that's what I need right now! With all my family in a craze for wedding planning, this house really needs a sleep!
