I have a child with dyslexia and each summer, reading is one of our most important things we do. Every day I set the timer and my son and I both get our favorite book and get on the couch and read.I read too. If it is important enough to have him do, it is important enough for me to do too.</p> <p class="diigo-tags"> <span>tags:</span> <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/education">education</a> <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/news">news</a> <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/reading">reading</a> <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/reading_teacher">reading_teacher</a> <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/parenting">parenting</a></p> </li> <li> <p class="diigo-link"> <a href="http://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/100-Activities-and-Ideas-for-parents-and-kids-to-do-over-the-summer-3007101/">100 Activities and Ideas for parents and kids to do over the summer - Resources - TES</a> </p> <p class="diigo-description">This is a flyer that you can download and tweak to send home with kids for the summer including 100 things that parents and children can do together to keep children's minds active and learning. </p> <p class="diigo-tags"> <span>tags:</span> <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/education">education</a> <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/news">news</a> <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/teaching">teaching</a></p> </li> <li> <p class="diigo-link"> <a href="http://www.tes.co.uk/article.aspx?storyCode=6197063">Child Safety Week - Resources - TES</a> </p> <p class="diigo-description">I think that every school should have a safety week. Discuss the accidents and safety precautions that kids can use to protect themselves. While some schools celebrate "child safety week" in June - this is a great topic when school gets out for the summer or to be run in summer preschools or camps. It is also something that could be scheduled during the month that students return to school. Children should be empowered to protect themselves. Here are some age appropriate ways this is done by schools now.</p> <p class="diigo-tags"> <span>tags:</span> <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/safety">safety</a> <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/education">education</a> <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/news">news</a></p> </li> </ul><p class="diigo-ps">Posted from <a href='http://www.diigo.com'>Diigo</a>.
