13 Things to Do this Labor Day
I have created a list of things that you can do instead of the traditional barbecue to celebrate a free day off from work. Why not try a couple?
Activities
School is Drawing Nearer
Summer may not have required much writing, focus or perseverance with fine motor skills, but school does. So, let’s use drawing and coloring to get focused and get those hands back on track for writing.
You Do the Math
For the last 3 weeks of summer break, our visual kids need to brush up on math facts! For most visual kids, math is not a favorite subject. As I mentioned in my book, Being Visual, our right brain kids are great with the conceptual side of math but memorizing facts and taking tests really rattles them.
How to Draw… a Bumblebee
Drawing is a fun, low key way for your kids to practice their handwriting skills without the pressure that school can sometimes put on them. Watch and learn how fun and easy it is to draw as Bette Fetter, demonstrates how to draw a cute cartoon Bumblebee with simple step by step instruction.
The Countdown Has Begun!
I was recently adding activities in the calendar for my grandson when I realized that we have only 5 WEEKS of summer vacation left! Whether you have more or less time to your summer vacation, the fact is that those hard earned academic skills, especially reading, writing and math, require constant reinforcement throughout the summer. Let’s start with some writing practice.
Color Your Way to Better Handwriting
Whether they are beginners or just need to remind their hands how to hold onto a pencil, coloring is a great way for your visual learner to practice using those muscles required for legible handwriting. Young Rembrandts is joining the coloring craze with their own beautifully designed and drawn coloring pages.
17 Things to Do to Wish the U.S.A. a Happy Birthday
This year marks our country’s 242nd birthday. Celebrate our great and powerful nation with some fun and family friendly activities.
What Are You Doing this Summer?
The kids in our area have been out of school for three weeks now and while I’m delighted to see my grandson enjoying his summer “off,” I can’t help thinking school is going to be back sooner than we think. If you have a child that struggled with their times tables at the end of fourth grade, fifth grade is coming soon, and without practice over the summer, fifth grade is going to be even harder. What to do?
