The summer vacation is heading to its finish line and school's first day is around the corner.
These days almost every family is busy either with its last chance for recreation, or completing preparations for school.
This is a great time to take a pause, gather the whole family and summarize the vacation.
You can make a list of all the special things you have done during the summer: camps, trips, vacations and visits. You can of course, mention all kinds of other activities indoor and outdoor. Don't forget special projects you had.
At my sister's house, for example, they had a summer project - the kids scanned all the thousands of paper photos (it is hard to remember, but, until 12-15 years ago you had to develop your photos on paper without having a soft copy on your computer).
60 days is a very long time, and the kids probably do not remember what happened in the beginning of the summer vacation.
Using the list, you can create a beautiful memory book, uploading your own photos and combining them with text and the cute illustrations of Batalugu.
This can be your family's final joint summer activity.
In addition, have a short brief of the coming school year, emphasizing the changes from last year.
Who is going to which school/kindergarten/daycare, teachers' names, special arrangements etc.,
If you have a special event this year, such as: one of the kids is going to kindergarten, first grade or a new school, celebrate it.
Have a nice dinner party on Aug 31st, invite close friends and family, and simply enjoy your time.
Thinking about it again... have a dinner party anyway. You don't need to have an excuse for that, do you?
I wish you all a great summer vacation ending and the best of luck at school.
Tell a tale,
Dorit Rosen
Product Manager, Batalugu.
