❤️ SKY, SAND and SEA MANUSCRIPT PRINTING TABLET

 ❤️ Children need a fun, creative approach to writing and the correct pencil grip.  Who better to create a handwriting tablet for early childhood learners than me?  I educated and encouraged three generations of readers-in-training, writers-in-training and artists-in-training in public and private schools, in homeschool and I trained preschool teachers.  I taught drawing classes to first through fifth grade through Young Rembrandts, a global program and recognized leader in art education. ❤️ It’s my dream to give the 22.53 million children aged 0 to 5 years living in the United States plus the estimated 600 million children around the world under 5 years old - the tools they need to read, write, draw and have fun doing it. ❤️  Breakthrough SKY, SAND and SEA MANUSCRIPT PRINTING TABLET for Preschool, Kindergarten & Primary Students ❤️ For more information contact       Mary Marcia, AKA Missy Marsh.   ❤️ (816) 728-9676 (Call or Text) ❤️ mary...

LOVE LETTER TO THE GENERATIONS

Image
 March 2025 Dear ❤️ Zoomers (Gen Z),   ❤️ Millenials (Gen Y), ❤️ Gen X,  and ❤️ Gen Alpha… I hear your anger and frustration and the conclusions you have thus far drawn from what you deem as truth. If you were my daughter or son or granddaughter or grandson I would invite you over for my homemade oatmeal cookies and sweet tea.  We would eat, drink, talk, really listen to each other with respect,  and pray together.   I would tell you stories of our family:  their loves and losses, their faith and values, and their work ethic, with the hope that their stories would inspire you to seek the truth and reach for the destiny God created you to fulfill. Granny Mary Lucille would say she was born in “19 and 5,” a member of the Greatest Generation (1901-1929). She was the single most important person in my life who influenced me more than anyone else. Granny came to Missouri in a covered wagon with her mother and father and 13 siblings when she was 10 years old...

A DIFFICULT PATIENT

Image
Today I had an appointment with my primary care physician.  In addition to regular checks & labs the male triage assistant gave me a cognitive test.  My first one. I heard him say:  “I’m going to give you a Glock.” Me:  “A Glock?” He:  “A clock.” Me:  “You better check my hearing, too.” He asked me to fill in the clock numbers on a blank circle which I did easily.  After all I taught Kindergarten and preschool for decades. Then I decided to show off and drew the hands on the clock for the time of 3:00.   He:  “Oh, no!  I’m supposed to ask you to draw the hands of the clock for 10 minutes after 11 o’clock.” I drew the hands for 11:10.  He crossed out my original 3:00 drawing and wrote a note on the paper so whomever judges my cognitive ability will understand I actually got it right but jumped the gun before instructions were given.   Me: “Could you give this cognitive test to Joe Biden and a Gen Z-er?  I’m pretty sure ...
