Bolstering Your Child's Home Education

*Definitely read this before starting any Christmas shopping and if you've already started...stop.  Read this blog to determine what items, subscriptions or classes are giftable and that can actually help bolster your child's education at home. ✍️ Who this is for? For starters, whether you teach your children full-time at home, are partnering with a school, through hybrid learning , supplementing on weekends, or simply enriching your child’s after-school world, you are partaking in home education . And regardless of your structure, you eventually reach moments when your routines feel wobbly, your momentum dips, or your learning rhythm needs a reset.

Calling All Future Olympians!

Olympic Cloud by Taku Satoh
The long awaited Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games are about to kick off in Japan on Friday, July 23, 2021 - August 8, 2021! Even though we can't all be there, we can all get involved (not just by watching TV); with the kids, at home or at a free park or city pool etc. Here are some of the Summer Olympic games you can play with your little ones at home or on the go:

1. Athletics. This one is my favorite (and not just because I was born in the country of the world's fastest athletes.) There are so many athleyc sports to get the entire family up and involved at home - like a quick sprint to see who's fastest or a mini long distance run to see who can run the longest without stopping. For team building you can try out relay racing with an empty paper towel roll or long plastic spoon ad the baton. And the list goes on...

2. Basketball. You can shoot hoops at home or at a park! If you don't have a basketball hoop you can crumple paper and shoot paper balls in a waste bin, you can shoot dryer balls or rolled up socks into a laundry basket. 

3. Cycling. Put those bicycles and tricycles to the test to see whose fastest. (Be sure to gear up in your protective wear like helmets, knee and elbow pads like a true Olympian would!)

4. Swimming. Get out your Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs)! Be sure to start your race in the shallow end of the pool or beach and swim the width and not the length to avoid venturing out into the deep. Or

4. Soccer. If you prefer to stay on solid ground, grab a ball and get to kicking! You can create goal posts from almost anything! Let your imagination lead you to fun!

What summer sport are you looking forward to playing with your family?
