KEEP ON LEARNING…

Summer is almost here! As a parent, you can help continue your children’s
educational progress over these vacation months. Try these ideas with your
kids.

1. READ! READ! READ! It doesn’t have to be a book. Have your child practice
reading cereal boxes, canned goods, etc. Take advantage of our own public
library.

2. JOIN IN THE FUN! Take early morning walks or ride bikes together.
Make a game out of identifying flowers, trees, birds, etc.

3. When WATCHING TV, encourage critical thinking skills. Talk about
the shows your child views.

4. Have a time out QUIET TIME daily for things that can be done alone,
such as reading, drawing, coloring, or simple crafts.

Take the time to enjoy your children during their summer vacation months.
The time you have with them is both precious and fleeting!
