School is just about upon us now, and the first few days and weeks of school can really make or brake the whole year. As parents there is something that we can do to help our kids be totally prepared for school this month.
1. Schedule -School schedule and summer schedule always seem to be different, no matter how hard we try to keep some structure through the summer. Make sure we are getting to bed early and getting up at the time we would during school. This way we will be ready for school to start.
2. Learn about the teacher- Most teachers have websites and information that you could learn about the teacher and the class. There is normally a link on the school website to their (the teachers) site. Check it out you might find some interesting things.
3. Read- It is amazing how much kids slip in their reading levels when they DON'T read during the summer. If they haven't been reading much during the summer, get them reading 30 mins. a day. This will help them get "tuned" up for the start of school.
4. Practice Math skills- Same thing with our math facts, if we haven't been practicing our speed at recall is not going to be were they need to be when we get back to school.
Here is a site that they can play games and practice there math facts, along with a few other things. multiplication.com
Enjoy the last part of summer
