Assigning children household chores is one of the best ways to build self-esteem and a feeling of competence. Regular chores establish helpful habits and good attitudes about work. Having chores also teaches valuable lessons about life and creates an understanding that there are jobs that must be done to run a household. Children who grow up perceiving chores as a normal part of life will find the flow into adulthood much easier than those without responsibility will.
Here are some things you can do to help out school and have some fun too.
1)Make a photo- of the first day back to school take lots of them don't just stop at the first day.
2)school work collection-get folders and put them into months and years.(that way you and your child can look back and see how fair they have come)
3)memory project-like teach them a simple magic trick
4)mom journal-record all your feeling even if it is you cried your self to sleep you dont want to forget especially when the go to k, middle and high school.
5)art show-like make puppets
Submitted by:TinaHere are some cool teaching tools for helping your kids with this stage of learning measurements.
Save those empty baby juice bottles...the small 4oz plastic ones with a screw on cap. They work great for packing salad dressing, veggie dip, ketchup, vinegar, etc. in a lunch bag. The cap screws on tight so you have no spills. These work better than containers I've paid more money for.

Some great ideas started rolling in, so I've compiled them for your enjoyment and use. Thank you, everyone, who contributed! We've got some real "pearls" of wisdom here. Get it?

We have used this product in my house for 2 years now and I really LOVE it! This software keeps them safe online and it does it's job well. I can rest easier and give the children a little more freedom with NetNanny looking out for them.
The program is easy to use. You install a program on each child's computer and then you can monitor and make changes online. Online you can view where they go, how much time they are online, etc.
DEAR DR.PAUL: I have a question that seems simple, but I feel is an important one. How do you know when your child is too sick to go to school? Thank you.

With two "schoolers" I've found that I just can't keep up with all of the papers they bring home that must be kept for one reason or another (ex: spelling word lists, permission slips to be returned, class lists, etc.). I've found the perfect solution to be a clipboard. As soon as backpacks are emptied each day the "keepers" are placed directly on the clipboard. The clipboard is kept in the same place so the kids know where to find it when they need something from the board. This has saved us alot of hassle and headaches!
