What you need to know about Pre-Kindergarten!

Ask a kindergarten teacher what she wants from her new kindergarten student. She will tell you she wants a student who demonstrates a love for learning! A child with an endless questions inspires a natural curiosity to learn more about their world around them. Children who ask lots of questions have a wonderful tendency to want to problem-solve!  Problem solving is such a wonderful skill for a child to possess!  Kindergarten teachers also want their students to demonstrate solid oral-language skills. Children need a background knowledge of their world along with the words which belong to it. Kindergarten teachers also want a child who possess a desire to be independent! Teachers expect children to master the following:

• Get coats on and off and hang them up 
• Follow simple two-step instructions such as "take off your boots and put on your sneakers"
• Go to the bathroom and wash their hands 
• Blow their nose and cover their mouth when they cough 
• Fasten and unfasten simple buttons and snaps 
• Eat neatly and pour into a cup 
• Open up a juice box and get the straw in.

Summer Fun for Families

Summer means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. To elementary children it means camp, or days spent at the pool. To tweens it means hanging at the house catching up on all your favorite t.v shows, video games, etc. To teenagers it is time to spend with their friends on the lake, at the pool, or the mall. To parents it means how I am going to entertain my children for the next three months. Austin, Texas is a beautiful place to raise a family and it offers a lot of amenities to families that are either free or very inexpensive. There is a wonderful website established by mothers here in the Austin area; it is called Free Fun in Austin. This website sends daily emails to inform you of events that are happening around Austin and outlying areas. I recommend everyone to sign up on their email list.



For all of us, summer is a time to spend with family and catch up with our children. Check out Austin ’50 Free Anytime Fun Adventures in Austin’, courtesy of Free Fun in Austin.
