 It’s that time again!
Feel like summer has flown by? Desperate for a few more weeks (at least!) of sunshine, tank tops, summer hours at the office, lighter-than-usual traffic? You're certainly not alone.
With September just a couple of weeks away, back-to-school time is in the
air... and in the malls! The stores are crowded with parents stocking
up on binders, pens and pencils, knapsacks, lunchboxes, notebooks, dictionaries,
new jeans, new runners... you name it.
Whether
you're trying to get your wee one ready
for preschool, or you're attempting to help your
anxious teen make the transition
into high school, it's time to start prepping
with our Back-to-School
Guide: It's filled with practical tips and
pointers on everything from buying
the perfect backpack to
making those first few early
mornings easier.
While it's been a while since I was a student, I'm
also getting those nervous butterflies this August.
On Saturday, while you're making the most out of the
second-last weekend before the new school year begins,
I'll be entering into something new, too... Marriage!
I'd be willing to bet your kids are as nervous (and
excited!) about going back to school as I am about
walking down the aisle.
See you next time,
Lisa Goldman

P.S.:
Today's the last day of our special Ask
a teacher forum. Go to the
Forums to get all your questions answered
about the upcoming school year.

Tips to Keep You Cool - From firefighter Shane
Ferguson:
Smoke and heat rise. They fill a room from the ceiling down.
That's why firefighters crawl in fires, and that's the technique
you should use when escaping from a fire. How low can you
go? As low as you can to get the coolest, most breathable
air in a room.
