Is the sun setting on summer break?
Isn’t it too early to think about getting the kids ready to go back to school? Not really, many Valley of the Sun school districts, charter schools, and private schools begin in July or early August. Then, it is time to bring about a close to the summer schedule and plan for the coming school year, right? Soon, but what if you and your family aren’t quite feeling ready to go back to school?
Think about a more gradual adjustment for your kids from the lazy days of summer to the busy structured classroom with some FREE and fun interactive events. Would your elementary-age children enjoy quiet crafting? Are engaging activities with lots of energetic movement what your kids thrive on?
