 Manuia le Tausaga 2021!! Happy New Year internet aiga!!

I apologize I have been offline.  I'm slowly recovering from koviti (covid) 😞

This year has been filled with many setbacks already and we are still in blistering cold Ianuari (January) in the midwest ⛄😰

Nonetheless - we're alive and well. O lea, ia vi'ia pea le Ali'i i lona alofa ma lona agalelei ae maise lona tausiga ia i tatou uma a o tatou va va mamao.🙏

Praise God for His love and mercy especially His protection over us all as we are apart from one another.

I wanted to post some worksheets I have created for the kiddos' home-school Samoan lessons.  Ioe, the smalls do not get a pass from learning 😁 even in the time of covid. 

They got a kick out of these conversational exercises as I have them read out loud. Helps with fluency and reading comprehension. Figure I'll share these with my internet aiga.😀

Enjoy and please, be safe! 💟

Tatalo pea mo outou uma.

💓,

Tatalo a le Alii 🙏

Hello Aiga!!

I 🙏 you are all protected amid all we are experiencing during this time.😌

I am deeply saddened by the injustice and generational racism that still exist today. 

Maybe this means this 🌏 is near the end...👀

Due to the current events, we are learning the Lord's prayer or Le Tatalo a le Alii.

I have the slides here as I am teaching my son one line at a time.

We need spiritual guidance from our Father now more than ever....🙏

Be safe!

💓,

E faitauina Oe - Be Counted! 🙋

Hello virtual aiga!!! 😊

I 🙏 you are all well and healthy. This pandemic has changed the way we live - our work, school, community functions and worship has been affected. I know in my area, people are trying to adjust to these changes and not always an easy process.😕

Long story short - its been busy on my end. I now work from home and playing multiple roles all at the same time - sometimes wearing my hats simultaneously 👒: teacher, maid, coach, cook, mentor 👀...am sure many of you are going through the same motions 😆

When I said I love learning...someone up there heard me and put me to the test. 😀
So as we are all learning to adjust to our new "normal" I wish you all the best....🙌

I have not created any new material yet - but here's something to teach the kiddos: the importance of being counted for our census - our population benefits in many ways by participating in this process.
please share, educate and participate!!!
💕,
~h

To help with these efforts, I've created a very simple craft below:

Have fun reading! ☺
