BUS
STOP BREAKFAST BASH
Organize a neighborhood breakfast bash on the
first day of school. Bring doughnuts, bagels,
hot chocolate, juice and milk for the young students
and their parents to enjoy as they wait for the
bus. This is a perfect way for your children to
get to know their classmates, and a great opportunity
for you to meet their parents. This photo moment
can be collaged into your “Back to School” book.
FUN
FROM BEGINNING TO END
Be sure to make a special breakfast to start the
school year off right. Make an elaborate feast,
maybe waffles with whipped cream and fresh strawberries,
or eggs benedict - anything but the usual scrambled
eggs and toast. Let your kids select the menu
and do the grocery shopping together to prepare
this special meal. Wake up early and set the table
with your best dishes, turn on background music
and really make this meal special. Do the same
to celebrate the last day of school. Prepare a
unique desert like German chocolate cake, strawberry
cheesecake or something special to be repeated
year after year. When you serve your children
this ceremonial dessert, present them with a small
gift. (This is a great time to introduce or contribute
to a collection that your child may have, or want
to start). This gift is not a reward for their
performance, but a mark of accomplishment.

ME AND MY GRAN - HAND IN HAND!
Every year, since the age of 4, my son spends
the day with his Grandma to celebrate Grandparent’s
Day. My Mom uses that time to teach her grandson
more about herself & her past. One year they
drove to the town where she grew up and she
shared her childhood stories with him. After
their day together, they create a keepsake
to remind them of this precious time. On
heavy cardstock, my son traces the outline
around his Grandma’s hand. Then my son places
his own hand inside the outline of his Grandma’s
hand and together they trace his hand. This
idea can be used to make a refrigerator drawing,
a framed keepsake, or a placemat.
