This week’s Teaching Tip features my first new video since the re-design, and it is called “Teaching Kids to Transition Back into ‘School Mode.’ †Click here to watch.
If you are interested in being notified anytime I upload a new video, please add yourself as a subscriber to my channel.
In this short video I share a few tips to help parents ease their children's transition back to school. Topics include re-establishing routines, re-focusing on academics, and shopping for school supplies.
This tip is also part of a “Back to School Sweepstakes†in which Volunteer Spot, a website that helps teachers coordinate with parents and volunteers, is offering entrants a chance to win an ipad and $500 for their favorite school.
