Parent & Child, Parents Make the difference

One of the things that goes on in my office is Parent Involvement and on of the things the person who runs it does is make parent involvement calendars and it has little suggestions of things you can do with your child to help him/her do well in school. And on today's thing to do is

Have a "goodbye to summer" picnic today. Let your child plan the menu.

The first part is good for most all children and the second part is better for older children who can choose what would be good to eat. I think If I am up to it that is what I'm going to do with Alyssa a picnic would be fun and maybe even let her ride her tricicle until nap time!

maybe plan a craft too. ike putting summer things (sand, shells?) into a soda bottle & decorating it.

cool idea!!
