Coming soon -- at home activities for the Christmas break!!!   The next three weeks in December, I will be adding information here from some of the resources we have available in the Family Resource Center.  Please feel free to stop by any day from 7:30 - 11:40 and I can assist you in checking out some of this wonderful information!!

The Parent Institute included in their Quick Tips Learning Activities for Rainy Days & School Vacations the following:

"Make an 'I'm Bored' Jar -- At the beginning of a school vacation, have your children make a list of activities they can do when they get bored.  Examples might include: listening to music, go for a bike ride, paint a picture, plan for a trip, work a puzzle.  Write each activity on a slip of paper and drop it into the "I'm Bored" jar.  Each activity should be something the child can do alone.  When kids are bored, they can draw a slip of paper from the jar." (The Parent Institute, 1995, Fairfax Station VA).
