Planning After School Activities For Your Kids

Help Kids Boost Their College Entrance Exam Scores

(StatePoint)

Fun and learning can extend beyond the classroom. From music and the arts to organized sports, after-school activities can help kids stay active and make lifelong friends.

The SAT is perhaps the most important test a high school student takes, as one’s performance directly affects one’s chances of getting into the college of his or her choice. While taking college entrance exams can be daunting, students don’t need to be geniuses to get a great score on the SAT or ACT. “The test’s bark is worse than its bite,” says JaJa Liao, who got a perfect score on her 2011 test, and is guest editor for “Up Your Score: The Underground Guide to the SAT.” “Really, the SAT is just an extremely lame game that can be defeated." It will take hard work and focus to master the test, however. These tips from Liao will help pupils prepare for and conquer college entrance exams:

Study With a Friend Preparing with a partner will keep students focused and determined. Friends will work together towards a common goal, and sometimes all it takes is that little extra motivation to reach a target score.

Watch the Clock One thing that makes the SAT so tough is the pressure to complete every question within the time limit. By preparing for the inevitable time crunch with a timer, test-takers will learn to pace themselves and manage each question with poise.

Here are some great tips to keep kids active and engaged during the afternoon:

Enjoy Studying There are thousands of bland classes and dry prep books out there, but if they’re not enjoyable, how much can really be learned? Opt for study materials that students will actually want to use. For example, “Up Your Score: The Underground Guide to the SAT,” offers expert advice and proven strategies from young authors, using peer humor and edgy wit to fend off some of the anxiety that surrounds SAT prep. The right prep book should introduce students to insider math tricks and key vocabulary words, while helping sharpen speed and timing and improve memory and concentration. Learn more at www.Workman.com.

Practice Makes Perfect

Sign up early: Many programs fill up fast. Be sure to sign your kids up for programs as soon as possible to ensure their enrollment. Listen to your kids: As much as you would like your child to participate in certain activities, don’t push too hard. Let them explore all their options to find activities they actually enjoy doing. Make scheduling convenient: If your child is active, you will be too. Plan activities close to home or school to limit time spent in the car. Whether you’re setting up play dates, forming a time-saving carpool or heading up the PTA, mommy calling cards from an online stationery store like Minted.com is a unique way to make an impression, and share your contact information quickly with teachers, coaches and other parents.

Go informal: When the weather is nice, consider organizing an impromptu neighborhood bike ride or soccer game. If your child is artistically inclined, invite his or her friends over for craft time. Encourage academic interests: At-home supplies can inspire your child to get excited about learning. A science kit, for example, can be found at any hobby store and will augment lesson plans with fun hands-on experiments. Personalized journals for kids, will encourage your young writer to put pen to paper and compose stories or essays. Don’t overschedule: As with everything great in life, moderation is key. With rich, full school days, homework and after-school activities, don’t forget to give your kids time to unwind. With the right after-school programming, you’ll be sure to keep your kids safe, active and happy, long after the bell rings.

The SAT is a long and grueling test, lasting nearly four hours, not including breaks. Take as many practice exams as possible before the test date to prepare. By doing so, students will know what to expect and head into the exam as SAT veterans. “Parents can help kids boost their score with a supportive attitude,” offers Liao. “If your child is feeling frustrated, let them rant. Take care to avoid adding to his or her stress with unrealistic expectations. Remember that students can always take the test again if needed.” With confidence and hard work, scholars will be heading off to their dream college before they know it.

Back To School Bus Safety Tips For Parents And Kids

When school is back in session, buses are out and about, and everyone needs to do their part to keep students safe.

• Drive with caution, especially in school zones. • Observe the speed limit at all times. • Refrain from using your cell phone. • Watch out for students before and after school. • Follow the school bus safety rules.

(StatePoint) A new school year means new routines. And if your child is one of the millions of kids who ride the school bus, you should be encouraged by U.S. Department of Transportation statistics that cite it as the safest mode of transportation for children to get to and from school Nevertheless, riding the school bus safely does require children to be aware and follow specific safety procedures. That’s why the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Chuggington, the educational animated children’s television program, have partnered to offer parents and children important school bus safety tips as part of the ‘Think Safe, Ride Safe, Be Safe!’ traffic safety campaign. The national traffic safety campaign helps parents teach their children about NHTSA’s recommended pedestrian, school bus, bike and car seat safety guidelines. Below are a few school bus safety tips from the ‘Think Safe, Ride Safe, Be Safe!’ campaign for you to share with your children to make riding the school bus a safer experience: • Be especially careful around the “danger zone,” which is 10 feet in front, behind and on each side of the school bus. To avoid this area, wait for the bus at least five giant steps away from the road.

• Wait to board the school bus until the school bus driver says it’s safe to do so. Kids should board one at a time and use the handrails to go up and down the stairs.

FACULTY

D R I V E R S • Practice emergency plans regularly. • Enforce all school safety rules. • Discourage bullying. • Track student Internet use. • Get to know students’ parents and families.

• Once on the school bus, go straight to your seat and remain sitting, facing the front of the school bus. • Look out for cars before getting off the school bus. Once off, take five giant steps away from the school bus.

PARENTS

• Wait for the driver or crossing guard to signal it is safe to cross the street. Always look left-rightleft to make sure no cars are coming before crossing the road. Traffic safety education should be a positive, shared family experience. Parents can go online with children and take the pledge to ‘Be Safe!’ together at www.chuggington.com/safety. In addition to the pledge (to date, more than 500,000 children have taken the pledge to ‘Be Safe!’), families can access a safety game, activities, downloadable tip sheets and even a free traffic safety app.

Words of

Faith &Hope

HANDLING DISAPPOINTMENT Disappointment comes in various forms. We feel disappointment when our team loses...when the stock market takes a plunge…when things do not go our way. Self-disappointment may be the hardest to handle. Let me explain. For the last year I looked forward to running my second 5k with my family and friends in the 11th Annual Otsego Ready or Not 5k. I began running in early spring and stepped it up during the summer months with about 5 weeks of 21 miles 5 days a week regiment. Then a week before the event I strained a muscle and was unable to run in the 5k. I felt disappointment. But I am one to look for the positive. The muscle strain could not take away my joy in running. When I run I feel close to God. I do not for one moment regret the days of training. I think of recent Otsego High School graduate, Cross Country and Track Star, Bryan Harvey. During the track season he hit a slump. During spring break he took a nine day break “and got mentally into it.” He came back with a blistering 9 minutes, 52.76 seconds to win the 3,200-meter run and help lead his team to a Division 2 regional title. Let me introduce you to a great leader in the family of God. His name was Moses. For 40 long years he led the people of God from slavery in Egypt to freedom in the Promised Land (Canaan). During those years of wandering in the wilderness they were in training, developing their laws and their power to govern themselves. It was his dream to lead them in but God said no. What a disappointment that must have been for Moses. Yet his name is listed in “God’s Hall of Fame” (Hebrews 11). The best way to handle disappointment is with faith and hope. God’s way is not the easy way but it is the best way.“And hope does not disappoint us, because we know God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us” (Romans 5:5). Prayer: God of Moses, and many like him, help me to trust you even in times of disappointment. In Jesus’ name. Amen Please join us for worship this Sunday in a church where Jesus’ love is lived. You will not be disappointed! Rev. Dan Minor, Pastoral friend & colleague of Rev. Joe Shaler Sponsored In Part by:

Many thanks to all our community members who took their places and voted in the August 7th primary election – not only those who voted for me – but also those who voted for each of the candidates who ran for office. I would also like to express my deep gratitude to each one of you who expressed support and encouragement to me during the race. Your words and your support have meant a lot to me in the process so far. I'd like to ask you to please continue that support as we prepare for the general election on Tuesday, November 6th. If you were unable to vote in the primary election for any reason I'd like to encourage you to make it a priority to vote in November. It is a vital privilege and responsibility that we have, as citizens of the United States of America. Every voice is important and needs to be heard. Remember, "Change Starts at Home!" I'd also like to thank Larry and Patty Davidson for their very gracious ad in the Shoppers Guide and for all the ways they help to strengthen and support our community through many charity events and commerce. Their thoughtfulness and generosity are great examples to all and aptly demonstrate the heart of our nation and our local people. Our best to them as they continue to reach many people through our area in this way.
