3 Lists to Help You Start the School Year Off Right

It seems like just yesterday that the school year ended. Now it’s time for another grade, another classroom, and another set of adventures in Mandarin immersion.

Whether your family is wrapping up school shopping or already getting settled back into your daily routines, please take a moment to check out these three amazing listicles from GreatSchools.org:

1. School Supply Lists for Every Grade. This article contains lists for pre-school through high school students. The elementary school grades are broken into lists for early and later grade levels. The authors wisely recommend cross checking these lists against those supplied by your children’s schools.
2. Creating the Perfect Homework Space. This article encourages parents to build a functional, distraction-free study nook by considering their children’s work habits, temptations, and needed resources among other things.
3. Smart Afterschool Snacks. The most effective homework space could be rendered useless if your child is too hopped up on sugar or too hangry to focus. This article provides nutritional suggestions for tasty snacks that will give your learner the energy to hit the books with gusto… or at least with focus.

Wishing you and your family an excellent school year!
