Getting Ready for the School Year

Wow!  The summer is almost over and the new 2012-2013 school year is just around the corner.

 

Here are some ideas to help you and your child get a HEAD START ON SUCCESS.

  • A week before school make sure that bedtime and wake-up time is in place to insure a happy start to everyone’s day.
  • How about a little practice on those math facts?
    • This is great to do as an activity in the car!   “Sarah, how much is 7×8?”
    • Include MIND MATH too!  “If you and I go to the store and buy 4 goldfish and we give 1 to a friend, how many fish will we have for our fishbowl?”
  • Get those hand and arm muscles ready for writing.
    • Crayola Modeling Compound is so much fun and not messy at all!
    • How about sponges in the pool?
    • Finger paint with pudding.
    • Write letters in hardened jell-o,
  • On these hot days, a trip to the library to pick up some books to read could be great fun.  Remember children learn as much from hearing you read as they do from reading themselves!
  • Make a list of school supplies.
    • For younger ones – draw pictures of what needs to be found for school.
    • For older children have them make the list and when they are shopping plan enough time that they may be able to add how much money they are spending (Sure! Round it off to the next dollar!)
  • Go through your children’s closets to weed out the “this is too small pile”.  Then talk about donating the clothes to Good Will or a shelter for children to use who are less fortunate!

Have fun and be safe. Katherine

    Appreciating the commitment you put into your site and detailed information you provide.

    It’s great to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same
    outdated rehashed information. Great read! I’ve saved your site and I’m including your RSS feeds to
    my Google account.

    Is this a paid theme or did you customize it yourself?

    My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on
    several websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform.
    I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    There are some useful multivitamins which are responsible for
    protecting your joints from any kind damage. one of the main reasons many of us store fat
    instead of build muscle. You should never, ever pay over about 10 cents
    per 5 gram helping.

    I do believe that you ought to publish more about this topic, it might not be a taboo subject but generally people don’t speak about these subjects.
    To the next! Kind regards!!
