Back To School

ISLIP - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY AUGUST 25, 2021• WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

How To Ease Kids’ Transition To A New School

Being the new kid in school can be a tall order for youngsters. Children who change schools may face a host of challenges that studies suggest can affect both their social and academic development.

In addition to the toll transferring schools can take on their academic performance, students also may experience difficulty assimilating into their new schools.

Though there’s no formula to make such transitions easier, parents can try various strategies to help their kids successfully adjust to new schools.

• Speak with children about the transition.

Pathways.org, a notfor-profit organization devoted to providing free child development information to parents and health professionals, recommends parents speak with their children about transitioning to a new school. Encourage children to share what excites and worries them about the transition.

The way parents discuss

transitions can go a long way toward shaping how kids view the change.

• Stay true to your routine. Pathways also recommends parents of students who are transitioning to a new school do their best to replicate first day of school routines from years past. Some familiar traditions might help calm kids’ concerns about their first day in a new school.

• Assimilate into a new community before the school year begins.

The education resource Edweek.org notes that the most common causes of students changing schools are residential moves related to parents’ jobs or financial instability. Parents on the lookout for a new job or those who may need to relocate for financial reasons may want to delay moving until the current school year has ended. Moving between school years gives families time to acclimate to their new communities.

That means kids will get time

to make new friends.

Some familiar faces on the first day at a new school can go a long way toward alleviating the fears children may have.

• Volunteer at your child’s new school.

Parental involvement at school can have a profound impact on children. The National Education Association notes that children whose parents are involved at school are more likely to perform academically than students whose parents are uninvolved.

In addition, such students are more likely to have good attendance and exhibit stronger social skills than children whose parents do not involve themselves in their children’s school.

It stands to reason that students transferring to a new school may benefit from parental involvement even more than other students, as seeing their parents approach a new school with excitement and energy may inspire children to follow suit.

North Shore Animal League America Partners With Amelia Air Animal Rescue More Than 20 Dogs and Cats Rescued From South Carolina

North Shore Animal League America welcomed more than 20 animals flown to Long Island by animal rescue nonprofit Amelia Air. The plane touched down at Republic Airport in Farmingdale on Sunday around noon, on August 15th.

The aircraft was piloted by Dean Heisted, co-founder of Amelia Air Animal Rescue and flew dogs and cats rescued locally by North Shore Animal League America’s shelter partner Lakeside Animal Rescue in Orangeburg, SC. Also on the tarmac in New York was Petra Janney, co-founder of Amelia Air Animal Rescue.

This transport is the first of, what is hoped to be, many scheduled as part of the new Humane Relocation collaboration between Animal League America and Amelia Air. A major missing link for rural shelters when it comes to animal rescue is the ability to relocate animals from their often overcrowded shelters to

more populated areas with large numbers of potential adopters. North Shore Animal League America pioneered humane relocation programs, now utilized by many groups, enabling local shelters and rescue organizations to transport their adoptable animals to shelter partners.

Amelia Air connects that same missing link by flying pets direct to adopters and/ or to rescues who secure them foster placements and, eventually, loving, responsible homes.

During the month of August, North Shore Animal League America is waiving adoption fees on all felines (cats and kittens) for approved adopters.

About NORTH SHORE ANIMAL LEAGUE AMERICA Animal League America has saved more than 1.1 million lives. As the world’s largest no-kill rescue and adoption organization, we understand that a rescue isn’t complete until

each animal is placed into a loving home. Our innovative programs provide education to reduce animal cruelty and advance standards in animal welfare.

We reach across the country to rescue animals from overcrowded shelters, unwanted litters, puppy mills, natural disasters and other emergencies and find them permanent, loving homes. www.animalleague. org.

About AMELIA AIR Amelia Air is a new nonprofit dedicated to saving pets from euthanasia by flying them off death row and into loving new homes. Founded in 2019

by Dean Heistad and Petra Janney, our mission is to provide the missing link between shelters with too many animals and families who want to adopt them.

Inspired by the Heistad family’s Great Dane Amelia, who was rescued in an airplane, Amelia Air now flies pets to freedom on both coasts of the United States. ameliaair.org

NORTH SHORE ANIMAL LEAGUE AMERICA PARTNERS WITH AMELIA AIR ANIMAL RESCUE - North Shore Animal League America Rescue Manager, Karla Agostinello, carries a mother cat and kitten off Amelia Air transport at Republic Airport in Farmingdale, on August 15. More than twenty rescue animals were flown up from South Carolina and will be available for adoption.

Back To School What Parents Can Do To Help Kids As The First Day Of Kindergarten Draws Near

ISLIP - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY AUGUST 25, 2021• WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

Children experience many firsts as they make their way through infancy and into childhood.

Parents often remember their child’s first word and the day they took their first step, as both are major milestones in youngsters’ lives.

One of the most memorable firsts children experience is their first day of kindergarten.

Though many youngsters now attend daycare and/ or preschool before beginning kindergarten, the first day of kindergarten is still something special for both children and their parents. As the big day approaches, children about to begin kindergarten may experience a range of emotions, including excitement, anticipation and even a little anxiety or nervousness. Parents can help their children manage such emotions by taking various steps to make the first day of kindergarten as fun as possible.

• Request a class list. Some schools may not provide a class list and some will. Parents who can access the class list can go over the list with their children before the start of school. Doing so can • Discuss activities with school officials, including lessen youngsters’ anxiety as they will no doubt recognize a few familiar names on the list. Knowing teachers. Some kids may not be nervous about going friends will be in class alongside them will no doubt to kindergarten, but might not be looking forward make kids more excited for their first day. to the end of summer. In such instances, reaching

out to teachers and/or other school officials to learn what kids will be doing in kindergarten can help. Discuss first-day and early-year activities with teachers and then share that information with kids.

Once kids learn how much fun they’ll be having in kindergarten, they might be less reluctant to say goodbye to summer.

• Let youngsters choose their clothes for the first day. When shopping for first-day-of-school attire, let kids choose their own outfits, explaining to them that the first day of kindergarten is a special day worthy of new clothes. Once the big day arrives, kids may forget their nerves and just be excited to get dressed and show off their new duds, especially if they’re wearing clothes they handpicked themselves.

• Attend a school orientation day. If your child’s school hosts a student/family orientation day, be sure to attend. Orientation will give kids a chance to see their classroom and meet fellow students as well as their teacher. That familiarity can calm kids’ nerves on the first day.

The first day of kindergarten is a milestone.

Parents can employ various strategies to calm any nerves kids may have as the big day approaches.

Back To School Tips For Finding An Afterschool Program Today’s children grow up differently than their parents did. Technology has changed the way students learn in the classroom, but perhaps the biggest difference between how today’s kids grow up and how their parents were raised concerns the dynamic at home.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, both parents worked in 63 percent of households that were home to married-couple families with children.

Many of those parents likely did not grow up in households in which both of their parents worked full-time throughout their childhoods, marking a significant difference in the dynamics of modern families compared to those of yesteryear.

Afterschool programs take on heightened importance when both parents work full-time, especially if neither parent works from home.

Many schools and community organizations offer afterschool programs. While it’s great to have options, too many options can make it daunting for parents to find the program for their children.

The Afterschool Alliance (www.afterschoolalliance. org), which works to ensure all youth have access to affordable, quality afterschool programs, offers the following tips to parents as they look to find afterschool programs for their children.

• Contact educators at your child’s school. Many

schools have afterschool programs on school premises. Speak with school administrators or teachers about school-sponsored afterschool programs. Even if a school does not have such a program, educators might be able to provide a list of nearby programs other students attend.

• Contact community organizations. The

Afterschool Alliance notes that many community organizations, such as the YMCA, the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and the 4-H Council, may offer afterschool programs. Local churches, synagogues and mosques also may offer afterschool programs to local families, regardless of their religious affiliation.

When speaking to community organizations, discuss how kids are typically transported from school to the program.

• Speak with fellow parents and neighbors. Your community is a great resource. Fellow parents and neighbors, even those whose kids may be in high school or even out of the house, may be able to recommend local programs. Reach out at schoolsponsored events or via social media.

• Contact your local government. Local government offices and officials also can help parents find afterschool programs in their communities.

Local Child Care Resource and Referral agencies (www.childcareaware.org) can be valuable assets for parents having trouble finding afterschool programs for their children.

Afterschool programs are invaluable to families in which both parents work. Finding the right program may involve a combination of strategies.

Back To School 3 Ways Educators Can Use Newspapers In The Classroom The COVID-19 pandemic had a profound impact on communities across the globe. No individual, household or industry was unaffected by the pandemic, and the ripple effects of the virus may be felt for years to come.

Though many effects of the pandemic have been devastating, one unforeseen and potentially positive consequence of the spread of COVID-19 was a growing recognition of the invaluable role played by local newspapers. Responses to the virus and strategies regarding how to combat it varied greatly, and local newspapers were a go-to resource for citizens who wanted to learn about rules and regulations in their towns. For example, in England the Bishop’s Stortford Independent, a local weekly paper in Hertfordshire, experienced a significant monthly web audience growth during the pandemic. Prior to the global outbreak in January 2020, the paper’s monthly web audience was 260,000. By October, that number had spiked to 360,000, reflecting a growing need for local news outlets as readers across the globe sought to learn about the pandemic within their own communities and how local officials were responding to the threat posed by COVID-19.

If the pandemic illustrated the vital role local newspapers can play, it’s important that readers recognize that role won’t be any less valuable when COVID-19 is in the world’s rearview mirror. Educators can help the next generation of readers recognize the importance of

local newspapers by taking various steps to incorporate newspapers into their lessons.

1. Employ newspapers when teaching current events.

Everyone was directly affected by the COVID-19 virus, making the story of the pandemic one of the most unique in modern history. Though children are often sheltered from global news stories about conflicts or economic crises, no such sheltering was possible during the pandemic, as kids were forced to learn from home and confront life with little or no access to extracurricular activities. Educators can show how local newspapers

reported on the pandemic when teaching current events, using that example as the foundation for teaching current events in the future.

2. Utilize the newspapers when teaching ESL. Students who do not speak English at home or as their primary language can benefit greatly from their local newspapers.

It might be easy to learn how to say certain words in English, but reading them in a newspaper gives ESL students a chance to see the words they’ve learned in context. And because local newspapers feature sections on everything from news to sports to entertainment, ESL students are sure to find a few articles that appeal to their existing interests.

3. Use newspapers to encourage a love of reading.

Just like ESL students are bound to find something that interests them in the local newspapers, their Englishspeaking classmates are sure to find a recap of their favorite team’s most recent game or a review of the latest superhero movie or a local news story about their town to pique their interest. Students may not realize it, but they’re learning when reading such stories by developing their vocabularies, fine tuning their comprehension skills and catching up on current events.

The valuable role played by local newspapers was on display during the pandemic. That role won’t be any less valuable in a post-pandemic world, and it’s a lesson teachers can apply in their classrooms.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been challenging for everyone. As the world adjusted to lockdowns, school closures and remote working, parents have been faced with especially unique challenges, and many of those challenges were still present a year after lockdowns began.

Finding productive ways for their children to fill their time has been an ongoing issue for parents since the pandemic began.

School-age children may not be going to school for full days, and many virtual learning programs also end around lunchtime, but a familiar local resource may be just what parents need to keep their kids occupied at home on weekday afternoons.

Local libraries are invaluable community resources, and that value has become even more apparent during the pandemic. Parents

can utilize local libraries in various ways, each of which can help fill youngsters’ time during those hours when school is not in session.

• Online story time: In normal times, many libraries host in person story time sessions for young children. Many libraries have been unable to host in person story time since the start of the pandemic, but those same libraries may have transitioned to online story time.

For example, the New York Public Library in New York City hosts weekday story times through its website.

During such sessions, librarians read books, sing songs and even share literacy tips. An archive of story times is available at https://www. nypl.org/education/kids/ storytime, and many local libraries offer similar services.

• Craft sessions: Some libraries even offer free craft projects

to members. Supplies can be picked up at the library on predetermined days of the week, and then families can work on the projects together at home or with other families through Zoom calls hosted by library employees. Parents can inquire with their local libraries to see if such programs are available in their communities.

• Academic support: Some local libraries even offer academic support, which can be especially valuable in the era of virtual learning when kids have little one-on-one time with their teachers. Tutoring services may be available via a local library, which also may supply supplemental materials like interactive learning tools that can bring lessons to life.

Local libraries can help families confront the academic and social challenges posed by the pandemic.

PUZZLE ANSWERS:

Back To School Pre - College Arts Programs No two students are the same, and that diversity is often reflected in the activities kids choose to participate in outside the classroom. Academic clubs, scholastic sports and arts programs are just a few of the many extracurricular activities available to students.

Such offerings ensure students with various interests have access to school-based activities outside the classroom.

Arts programs cater to an array of students, from the musically inclined to those who love to paint to the next generation of movie stars. Parents and students may be surprised to learn there are a host of pre-college arts programs that can help students interested in the arts take their passion to the next level. and • Acting Performance Summer Institute: This threeweek online program hosted by the University of California, Los Angeles focuses on theater arts.

The program encompasses performance training programs, movementbased techniques and a final showcase where students create their own content through the devised theater process.

Participation in the program is by admission only. UCLA notes that the program is designed for students interested in participating in a university theater program when they attend college.

• ArcStart: ArcStart is a two-week prearchitecture program for rising high school sophomores, juniors and seniors as well as rising college freshmen.

The program is offered

through the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan.

ArcStart is designed to give students an opportunity to study various aspects of architecture.

Students will learn to use specialized drawing, drafting and modeling tools while also exploring architectural history. Students also will enjoy a virtual visit to a thriving architecture firm and be tasked with creating original design proposals. Application is by admission only and there is no minimum GPA requirement to apply.

• Art as Experience: A three-week program offered by Cornell University, Art as Experience is designed to expand students’ understanding of the ideas and practices of art today. The threeweek course is open to pre-college students and undergraduates and introduces a broad range of mediums to

students. The course is open to all registrants and culminates in an exhibition where students will be responsible for the organization and installation of selfdirected art work.

• College Audition Preparation: This program at the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University Bloomington is designed for vocalists, brass and woodwind players, and composers entering grades 11 and 12. The program is ideal for students who are planning to apply for entrance to college music programs.

Participants in the oneweek program will work with real audition panel members who will help young vocalists and musicians master their auditioning skills.

Pre-college programs can be ideal for young artists who want to immerse themselves in the arts and hone their skills as they prepare to further their educations.

Free Transportation Through ‘Ride United’ To And From Covid-19 Vaccine Appointments United Way of Long Island recently launched ‘Ride United’ to help local residents access transportation to receive the COVID-19 vaccine through the rideshare service Lyft. The program is part of United Way Worldwide’s Ride United Vaccine Access Campaign, which addresses unmet transportation needs for individuals and families.

Long Island residents participating in ‘Ride United’ receive 2 free Lyft rides (up to $25 each way) to and from vaccination appointments located in Nassau or Suffolk Counties. Riders must download the Lyft app on a supported device and have an active Lyft account.

“United Way of Long Island is committed to keeping our communities safe and healthy. Ride United removes barriers of transportation inequity, ensuring that any Long Islander seeking to get vaccinated can get to and from their appointment without cost,” said Theresa A. Regnante, President and CEO of United Way of Long Island.

Ride United expands upon the organization’s COVID-19 response efforts. United Way of Long Island has helped seniors, veterans and families receive emergency financial assistance, fresh groceries, PPE items and HEPA air purifiers to improve their health, well-being and financial security during the pandemic. Expanding

access to vaccination appointments provides a critical resource for neighbors who would otherwise be unable to get to their appointment due to financial, transport or other reasons.

If you or someone you know needs transportation to and from your COVID-19 vaccination appointment, visit www.unitedwayli.org/rideunited, or contact 211 Long Island by dialing 2-1-1, or outside of Nassau and Suffolk Counties dial 1-888-774-7633, 7 days a week, or visit 211longisland.org.

About United Way of Long Island United Way of Long Island advances the common good, creating opportunities for a better life for all by focusing on the three key building blocks of education, financial stability and health. We recruit people and organizations that bring the passion, expertise and resources needed to get things done. LIVE UNITED® is a call to action for everyone to become part of the change. United Way of Long Island is part of a worldwide network spanning across 41 countries and territories, including more than 1,200 local organizations in the U.S. For more information about United Way of Long Island, please visit UnitedWayLI.org, or follow on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
