Seasonal Activities |
|
Try taking your camera with you when you go out in the fall. Record your visits. What catches your eye? When you get your picture back, lay them all out, arrange them in different ways and see what story they tell. Try adding captions or writing your own story from the pictures! |
|
Encourage your child to create their own neighborhood newspaper! This is an engaging activity for all ages. |
|
Don’t let your kids forget all that they’ve learned from reading! Make learning an engaging and motivating part of your everyday routine. |
Keep Reading! |
