Parents!One great way to get your kids ready for school is to make sure they're eating healthy meals that will give them energy for school. The Meals Matter website has meal planners, recipes, and nutrition information. And try BAM! Body and Mind , a very flashy, fun looking web site where kids can learn about fitness, food and nutrition, exercise, and safety by taking a quiz or playing a game.
To make school fun, incorporate learning into kids' game time. I love math, but math is NOT the most popular subject in school for most kids, so introduce them to math games and play with them. The American Library Association has a whole list of kid-friendly math sites. And check out Danica McKellar's very fun how-to math books for kids and adults. Not every parent will love this style of teaching math, but chances are their kids will.
And also look for How To Help Your Kids With Math, published by Dorling Kindersley, which we're adding to our collection right now.
See you next time!
