Handwriting Help
Color the eLearning Stress Away
We all know e-Learning is stressful for everyone in the house. Kids are overwhelmed with learning math and reading while simultaneously trying to navigate new technology. Parents are struggling to work while also managing online learning. Everyone is getting burnt out on being stuck at home.
Provide Drawing Opportunities
Drawing is a great way to get creative juices flowing for your kiddos this summer. Not only is it good for boosting creativity, but it is a great way for them to document what happens throughout the summer.

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.)
Drawing = Writing
This holiday break is a great time to take the Handwriting Challenge. 7 Days to Better Handwriting is a simple and engaging way to help your child get comfortable with handwriting so he can concentrate on the rest of the learning happening in the classroom.
Is Knowledge Leaking Out?

Writing to Remember this Summer
To stop brain drain, kids need to keep writing all through the summer. They need to practice their handwriting and creative writing skills. The key is to keep it fun and light.
