JJ Personality Young Taurus

Young Scorpio

The Scorpio child is full of mystery and beauty. This child will demonstrate remarkable sensitivity to others, beginning with infancy. You will be amazed by the attachment you feel to this child! More than any other sign, Scorpio is capable of feeling and expressing need, the proverbial still water that runs deep.

The passionate nature of Scorpio is known the world over and this sign is well adapted to expressing intense emotion. Artists and writers are very often Scorpios, as are actors and musicians. The inner depth of this sign is unfathomable, and if you help Scorpio children sort through their powerful emotions you will find yourself in the presence of striking and compelling personalities who give much more than they receive.

The younger years are calm given Scorpio's reputation. In fact, Scorpio loves to be a child. This is because there is so much to absorb and learn about the world, and so much love to soak in from parents and family. Scorpio's need for love cannot be overestimated, and you would be wise to show your love through taking the young Scorpio to museums, plays, bookstores, parks, and anything else that will capture their interest. To give a Scorpio something to explore is to give them a lifetime of satisfaction.

Other children may not be as passionate as yours, and therefore your Scorpio child may relate more easily to adults who have already found their passion in life. These relationships may be of great value to them long-term, although strict boundaries must be observed so that they can retreat to their own peer group whenever they feel like "just being a kid" with no explanation necessary!

Young Taurus

Children born under the sign of the bull are calm and pleasant, consistent and practical. Being cuddly and affectionate, Taurus children enjoy physical contact. Endowed with a gentle nature, they can nevertheless be extremely stubborn.

Taurus is ruled by Venus - the planet of love and beauty - and Taurus can be seen as the most sensuous of the signs. The little ones are sensitive to colors and sounds and to a harmonious environment; they care about what they eat and wear and appreciate the finer things in life from early childhood on.

Taurus children won't be bullied into anything they don't want to do. If they feel forced they turn stubborn and won't give in to anything and anybody and will always hold their ground.

Most Taurus children are likely to have a naturally beautiful singing voice and a very melodic way of speaking. They should be encouraged to take part in any musical activity offered, be it singing in a choir or learning to play an instrument.

Collections and possessions are rather important to Taurus children and they love toys and things they can collect. They even like to take on little chores for money and save what they earn. They can become little money makers at a very early age.

Taurus children are extremely loving and sensitive. Physical signs of affection are especially important, and they enjoy receiving huge bear hugs from an early age. Taurus' are strong, and they will learn to make the best huggers in the world.

In general, your child is loving, generous, tender, sensitive, and for the most part, well behaved. Just make sure you don't push him too hard or force him into anything he doesn't want to do. He will process things on his own time.

100 Day Project 大班生的第一百天計畫

美國的小朋友五歲起開始上Kindergarten, 也就是台灣的大班生. JJCC的蒙特梭利學校在學校九月開學起算到第一百天上學日時有一些慶祝"上學一百天"的活動, 所有的大班生也都得交一份"一百天計畫(100 Day Project)" !

什麼是"一百天計畫"? 每個大班生, 不論是什麼, 只要成品有顯示100樣東西, 物品, 活動, 或任何和100有關的就好了! 可以是100個硬幣, 100件做過的事, 100本唸過的書, 100粒喜瑞兒, 100張貼紙 ..... 說是簡單, 做起來可頭大的很呢!

想起豬2007年剛送JJ上蒙特梭利時, 沒好好看家長聯絡單, 還以為四歲的JJ就得做這東東, 所以就隨便給JJ貼了100個壽字交差, 結果老師看不懂中文, 也看不懂這100個字是同一個字, 還問豬頭媽給她這作啥? 還有, 這"圖"怎麼看? 怎樣才是正的?? 後來豬才搞清楚原來這不是四歲小孩的勞做, 豬頭媽真是豬頭一個!!

百壽圖

到了2009年, JJ真的要交了, 豬頭媽真是一個頭兩個大, 問JJ, JJ也說不出要做啥? 搞的母女兩人想的頭都快炸了! 最後豬在網上亂逛 , 找到這個網頁列了100個世界奇景, 看的豬很想去, 所幸就來搞個100 WONDERS - 100個世界驚奇!!

本以為圖片來源充分, 很快就可以搞定, 沒想到, 要將100張照片, 全擠在一張版面上超困難, 前前後後花了豬和JJ三晚的時間才搞定! 豬頭媽一邊做, 一邊罵, 但也只能告訴自己: 這是還債啦! 誰叫豬小時後學校要做的勞作或燈籠也是豬的爹娘搞定的咧! 唉!

三晚不吃不睡做出來的驚世巨作:

當豬頭媽帶著JJ拎著成品到學校時, 所有看到傑作的老師和同學們都驚嘆萬分, 豬想: 大家一定是覺得這是她們有生以來看到最美的100 Day Project 了! 一路走到教室, 所有的小朋友們和老師們都搶著看, 也不停的讚嘆: Wow! Oh my God! Oh my goodness! It's so pretty! It's so wonderful! 她們肯定對JJ 和她的天才娘真是佩服的五體投地哪! 豬在想: 按慣例, JJ的傑作一定會在學校牆上展覽個百日以便所有的學生與家長們欣賞和欽佩! 然後收藏在學校的寶庫以便以後每年拿出來給未來的學生當示範! 所以, 自那天起, 豬每天下課後, 就問JJ老師有沒有把作品展示出來啊? 第一天, 沒有! 第二天, JJ說要到明天所有人的成品才會展示出來! 第三天, 豬頭媽看著好多班都掛上牆了, 就沒看到JJ的!! 第四天, JJ說有放在教室裡面的櫃子上! 第五天, 就放在JJ的cubby下!
