Summer Tips

I hope your summer has been relaxing so far.  The fall school year may seem to be far off but it will be here before you know it.  Here are a few tips you can use to make sure your child is ready:

1.  Keep reading....Encourage your child to read by reading to them every day.  I can remember as a kid my dad would read us a chapter each night of Old Yeller and Savage Sam. 

2.  If your child has not started Kindergarten, make sure you have them lie down quietly for 45 minutes so they will be used to resting in the middle of the day.

3.   If your child is going into first grade, gradually phase out the rest time so they will be accustomed to going strong all day.

4.  If you have an older elementary student, set aside time each day for him or her to research a topic they are interested in using a computer.   On my next post I will add some sites that may interest them.

Thanks for looking at my blog and have a great summer!
