Smart TV

Peek-a-BooI see you.

Hi.
We are obsessed with this show these days.

Duck is me. In blue. A lot sarcastic and smart assed. Peep is Fa. Inquisitive and curious and a problem solver.


It's a smart show too. Have you seen it? Scientific discoveries in a real life setting. Making learning about science real by connecting it to real life situations... using cute as a button characters. Every kid big and small will fall in love with them. I love it.

Know what else Fa and I totally crack up at:

I love that monkey. And the show is really smart too. Builds vocabulary and word recognition.

Oh! And this too:

Why didn't I think of that? Actually I did. When I was in a classroom I used to do a project like that with the kids...Drawing the words inside the shapes that they represent like 'apple' and 'fish'. Now there's a show that does just that.

Teaches reading and word building skills. Helps the visual learner (as I am) to recognize letters and words and their sounds and meanings. Brilliant, I tell you.

Whaddya think? Is too much of THIS kind of TV a bad thing? I think you know my opinion. What's yours?

Ice 'ku

Haiku Friday


My Stonyfield Farms
Oh! my minty chocolate
I could bathe in you


Eating you is hard
Difficult to hide my love
in the freezer's bowels

Hate when they take you
for themselves without asking
my favorite treat

Devour you all
leaving me longing for more
'till shopping day comes

I must let it known
My love for you is so real
Can't hide much longer

PLEASE keep your paws off
This is my treat, I will not share
Go'won get your own
