For most of us, summer is underway and we are busy trying to keep our children occupied while we work. If we are lucky, we will be able to squeeze in a small vacation that won't break the budget.
Now is the time to plan ahead. School shots, physicals, uniforms, summer reading lists, etc...
Make appointments now - if your child is entering kindergarten, 7th grade and 9th grade - check to make sure they are up to date on their shots. In many cases, you will also need a physical. Check with your local chiropractic offices to see if they offer school physicals at a discounted price.
Check with your school about uniforms, summer reading lists and school supplies. If you need uniforms, check out stores. You can get a lot of deals at the beginning of summer for shirts, pants, etc. Don't worry if your children hit a growth spurt because you can always take it back for a better size -
Did your child bring home a summer reading list? Now would be a great time to hit the library together to do some reading. Your kids will be ahead of the game, you will share some quality time and you teach your child the importance of recycling (borrowing instead of buying). If your child didn't get a list go on line and print one out for the appropriate grade. Your school district website should have one. If not, Google in "reading lists for ___ grade"
Let's take the anxiety out of summer. Happy Reading.
I encourage you to post your summer plans and suggestions for keeping our kids busy on this blog - remember, it takes a village to raise a child - and we all have things that can be shared
