Our Creatively Shine Curriculum™ theme this month is “Worldly Weather”. This at-home activity will be sure to bring the rain with your homemade rain sticks. Rain sticks are fun instruments that when you turn them upside down and it will sound like rain!
With this month’s curriculum theme “Heart Healthy Lifestyle”, Little Sunshine’s wanted to share a great recipe for frozen yogurt popsicles! This activity is also a great way for your child to use their fine motor skills to put everything together to make these delicious smooth pops.
While your kid may not mind getting tossed in the mud, that’s not the only thing that will help them get the benefits of “playing in the dirt.” The important thing is to get them outside!
At the end of the day, acknowledge that you are doing your very best as a parent. Vague societal standards shouldn’t be the measuring sticks we use to define parental success. Whether that’s a 30-minute check-in at the end of each day or an hours-long activity once a week, look at what your children need and do your best to make sure everyone feels valued and loved.
Needing a fun at-home activity for your kids? We have one that is perfect! This blog post gives instructions on how to do a Dinosaur Discovery activity!
While many factors will influence how children perform in school during this fall, one of the most important factors is parental support. Showing your children that you’re excited about and supportive of their educational journeys, despite the added stress of COVID-19, will greatly influence how they react to their altered schooling this fall.
