Well we took a big break from the blog over the summer months, but will get back into the swing of it with the new school year, kicking off here on the Island today. We certainly hope you had a great summer. I hope you had a chance to relax, make memories, take the time to spend with loved ones & friends. Hope you explored your communities, walked some beaches, jumped in some waves, had campfires & took in some festivals in new corners of the Island. Hope you also had a chance to get ready for the transition back into school. As we are all aware, it can be a difficult one. It's sometimes hard to know, what you need to be 'ready'. I am sure at times, it feels like you have too much at hand, and whatever tools you have created, are not what your house and back-to-schooler needs!! that's O.K. You will figure it out. Give it a try, if it's not working, then shelf it for another moment and pull out a new visual, checklist, PEC schedule, or as my son requested this morning, a tape recording of what he needs to do..
good idea I said..putting that ' to pick up' on my list..sigh...Talking picture frames were always a great hit, and I know you can get a tape recorder with the ability to record a short message, that may help- as my very nice looking visual checklist in the bathroom was completely ignored, I am moving onto plan 'b'.
I do love the month of September, with the crispness to the air and the opportunities abound for our children. Let's make this the best year yet. We will start the cyber chat's again this month, and stay in contact with each other, so we can help support and brainstorm ideas. Hope each of your back to schoolers, comes off the bus, or meets you at the door, feeling good about themselves and the first day of school 2016!
