Back to School...........Already? Seems Like Summer Has Just Started!
I can remember when school didn't start until after Labor Day............ah well. Around here, New Prairie School Corporation starts on Wednesday August 13th. La Porte School Corporation starts the week after that.
Now is the time to start getting your students accustomed to rising earlier than they have this past summer. Start setting their alarm clocks 1 hour earlier each day until they reach the time that they need to wake up to get ready for school.
Go through their closet and make a list of clothing that you need to purchase. Stick to the list at the store - you will save money.
Make sure you have a list of all the necessary items they will need for the school year - the Staples in our area has a kiosk when you walk in with lists from various local schools.
Plan lunch items with your children if they will be carrying a lunch. Grocery shop with a list for those items - and again, stick to the list.
Have your children lay out their clothing the night before - get in the habit of doing this and you will have less stressful mornings. Also, lay out all material for the next day - backpack, lunch money, permission forms, etc.
Hope this tips will get you and your students off to a great start for the 08-09 school year!
