The sales are on, so every parent and guardian is prepping for the back to school rush \u2013 but are your kids? Summer feels as if it lasts an eternity when you\u2019re a kid, so learning that you may have to go back to school, or start going, can come as a bit of a shock to some children. There are some fun ways to help prep kids for the new school year to get them excited.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><o:p>&nbsp;<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Get Back Into Your Routine<\/b><br \/><span style=\"color: black; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Getting kids ready for school takes some preparation. You\u2019ll need to get the kids up on time, have them dressed, their backpacks and lunches packed, and have them out the door and in the car or on the bus when the time calls for it. Jumping right into this school routine can be a bit of a shock for both kids and parents so getting a head start can help you both ease into things. Not only will this make your back to school schedule easier to adjust to, but it will also help everything go over much more smoothly, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><br \/><b>Get Their Minds in Gear<\/b><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #5b9bd5; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent1;\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><span style=\"color: black; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Introducing educational activities and games can help get kids back into learning mode. Ideally, kids should be exposed to these kinds of activities regularly throughout the summer so that they stay up to speed, but introducing it more so towards the end of the summer can help get kids back into the mindset they\u2019ll need for the classroom.<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Visit an Open House<b\/><br \/><span style=\"color: #5b9bd5; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent1;\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><span style=\"color: windowtext; font-size: 12.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Some pre-k, kindergarten, and elementary school grades hold open house events for kids, parents and teachers. These get-togethers allow everyone to get to know each other. As a parent, you\u2019ll meet your kids\u2019 teachers and their classmates\u2019 parents. For kids, they\u2019ll see what their classroom will be like and who they might be friends with this year. These preliminary meetings also allow you and your kids to get a taste of what their curriculum will be like for the year. Seeing their classmates and their teacher can help get kids ready for when school will actually start, and you can begin brushing up on topics that might have been covered in the open house if you want to help give your child a head start.<\/span><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><span style=\"color: windowtext; font-size: 12.0pt;\"><o:p>&nbsp;<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>
