It’s that time! I went back to work this week for opening meetings and my students come back next week! Summer is never long enough yet I do enjoy “back to school” season. It’s a wonderful opportunity to start anew. Students have the opportunity of a fresh start to be more organized, try a new activity and make new friends.

Cheers to the 2022-2023 school year!

Wondering if there are some good activities for children on Election Day?

1. For young children, making red, white and blue cookies is away to start a conversation about Election Day. ❤️

2. Hold a mock election with your family. Create a ballot box, cast votes and declare a winner. 🤍

3. PBS has some great resources https://ca.pbslearningmedia.org/collection/election-collection/💙

4. For older children, model civil discourse. If you disagree with someone remain calm, use facts and do not personally attack the other person. Seeing people respectfully disagree is the cornerstone to this country.❤️

5. Take your kids to the polls with you if are voting in person. 🤍
