Recently, a new Young Rembrandts franchisee told me something awesome about her son’s university… Virginia Tech instituted a rule where all notetaking was to be done by hand. No laptops. No keyboarding of any kind. Just good old paper and pencil. (I assume pens are allowed. Haha.)
The new school year brings with it more structure, busy schedules, a multitude of events and activities, and of course homework, dreaded homework. When the kids go back to school, it means we all go back to school. Like it or not, you need to adjust just about everything you did over summer, for your kids to get what they need for school. It’s all for the best and there’s a big payoff, especially for visual kids and parents.
Young Rembrandts pushes the limits of what a normal classroom can accomplish because we’re integrating the right and left brain at the same time.
From some old favorite essentials to some treats to make your classroom unique, we have gathered a list of supplies that will help you get back into the swing of things as your summer vacation comes to an end and it’s time to start another school year.
