When Alexis Bonilla, 11, and Emme
Kuskin, 12, learned there were children in the world unable to go to
school they decided to start a Pennies for Peace drive. The change collected at Countryside Montessori in Land O’ Lakes will go to the Pennies for Peace foundation that builds schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan and buys school supplies. One penny can buy a pencil, two pennies can buy an eraser, 15 pennies can buy a notebook and $1 dollar will pay a teacher’s salary for a day. Sue Grossman, upper level teacher at the school, said it started as a class project, but then Bonilla and Kuskin decided it needed to be a school-wide project. She said she originally chose the project because... |

Tip #40: Road Trips: Make "Getting There" a Little Less Bumpy Compliments of Primrose Schools at Collier Parkway
July often means
traveling to exciting summer vacation destinations. Changes
in the economy have prompted many families to drive to their
destinations to save money. Summer road trips may be easier on the
wallet, but long road trips can be challenging for families with small
children. However, a little advance planning to your vacation
preparations can help make “getting there” more fun for everyone. Make a travel kit with snacks and activities. Use a plastic container, tote, or backpack for easy access to items. Books, crossword puzzles, coloring books, washable crayons/markers, drawing paper, activity books, favorite snacks, cards games, etc. are all great ideas for travel kits.
Pace yourself. Stop as often as you can at rest stops to stretch and allow children to use the restroom. Remember that time is an abstract concept to young children and “just four more hours” may seem like forever to them. If the trip is too much to do in one day, it may be easier on everyone to break it into two shorter trips. Read a favorite book. Traveling is the perfect time to read a favorite book to your child(ren) and/or let them read and explore a book on their own. Another option is to listen to favorite books on tape or CD. Below are a few titles that children at Primrose Schools are enjoying this summer:
Flip Flop Bop
by Matt Novak How I Spent My Summer Vacation by Mark Teague Play car games. Teach your children classic car games you played as a child. “I Spy” is a great travel game for road trips where one player picks something they see and gives clues for other passengers to guess the object. “A to Z Game” is another travel game option. The first player starts with the letter “A” and names an object they see that starts with “A.” The next player selects an object that starts with the letter “B,” and so on, until an object has been named for each letter of the alphabet.Sing a song. Bring along favorite CDs of classic childrens’ songs and/or travel songs. The whole family can sing to the music together as the miles go by.

The Rainforest was created with recycled materials by middle school science teacher Teresa Lynn and her students.
During the last week of the school year, Bishop Larkin Catholic School middle school Science Teacher, Teresa Lynn, was brainstorming ways to keep all of her students engaged in learning as the clock to begin summer vacation wound down. She decided to re-create a Rainforest in her classroom based on a workshop she had attended. With the help of her middle school science students and some recycled materials; a rainforest was constructed in the science lab. Complete with tropical “plants” and “animals” created by or donated by students, the entire school was invited to come in for a visit!
