Hello to my fellow Hivers!😍 I'm thrilled to share another blog post with you all today. This one is about the significant moments that my daughter and I have experienced together. Leading her through these priceless moments has been a fulfilling experience for me as a mother and a teacher. I look forward to sharing more experiences with you in the future and hope you enjoy reading my blogs. I am grateful for your support😍!
Letter writing is one of our favorite pastimes. Even before my child enters a formal classroom, I believe it's important to provide a solid foundation for her education because I am a teacher and a mother. I enjoy helping her create each letter precisely and with attention, and holding her hands with gentle care.
She really insisted that position instead of using a table for her to write properly😀 As a teacher, I am taught to respect a child's choice to participate in an activity, but on this particular setting, she is choosing to write in this posture😀.
Our common journey of learning and development is demonstrated by the genuine smile that shines on her face as she writes her name correctly (though not perfectly). These letters create a bridge between us in these secure moments, whispering love, encouragement, and the possibility of limitless possibilities. Letters and words become more than just ink on paper.
At present she already knows how to write her name, identify colors,color painting, draw objects that can be seen around us, and most of all she really valued God. She had already memorized a certain prayer and a worship song. Thankful to God for this stress reliever cutie😍
Watercolor painting is another one of our popular pastimes. We create a comfortable space in our living room where we can explore our creativity and love of color with brushes and paints that are available. As a teacher, I adore teaching my daughter about the wonders of color blending and the excitement of artistic expression.
We'll start with the fundamentals for the time being and let her experiment and discover colors. We've been learning about the wonders of color blending and the delight of working together to create something exquisite. We painted a flower one afternoon that shall never be forgotten. I demonstrated to her how to mix colors with water on the canvas as it was her first time working with watercolors. She painted a blossoming plant successfully. She was so happy to have accomplished her goal that her giggles filled the room 😄. Every brushstroke she made added a new dimension to our treasured memories.

These encounters are unique times of bonding for us, even beyond mastering the art of letter writing. We can exchange hopes, dreams, and stories with them. I see her imagination and empathy blossom as she learns to write letters to us, and her relatives, and perhaps soon even her favorite fictional characters. Our relationship as mother and daughter is strengthened by these letters, which are more than just messages—they're windows into her heart, revealing her thoughts and feelings.
We did this thing called "Draw and Tell," where she could draw anything she wanted to, and I was astonished by what she came up with. She then went on to describe the specifics of her drawing with enthusiasm. It was an incredible turning point with this amazing girl.
As we pen our letters, I find myself thinking about the value of education and how fortunate I am to be able to shape my child's formative years. With my continuous support and conviction in her potential, every letter she writes is a step closer to freedom and self-discovery. We recognize every accomplishment together, starting from her clumsy initial attempts at letter formation to the better penmanship that defines her own writing style.
Not only are these letter-writing sessions helping her get ready for upcoming academic obstacles, but they are also fostering her creativity, curiosity, and fortitude. The goal is to cultivate a lifelong love of learning that she will carry with her. I'm determined to provide her with a solid knowledge and comprehension base so that, as a mother and teacher, she may confidently and gracefully handle the challenges of the outside world.

My significant influence over her destiny is brought to light by the private sanctity of our letter-writing routines. As she matures, the curiosity and critical thinking that I am planting in her through the simple act of teaching her to write will blossom. Along this path of motherhood and education, we discover many possibilities and enjoy the joys of learning, which build our bond as a mother and daughter.
This photo was taken also during her moving-up ceremony last June 4, 2024. My little girl is now ready to move up to the next level!😍
Thank you for reaching this far and before I end my blog, let me leave this borrowed quotation which I believe will remain a fact until the end. "A daughter is just a little girl who grows up to be your best friend." - Unknown
