On Wednesday, we continued a time
honored tradition here at Brickton with another Mix-It-Up Day. The Kindergarten through Middle School

races and a scavenger hunt, and cooking and crafting. Enjoy the photos from this special day!

Brickton
Reads
Vacation is a great time to read
with kids. Even if your time is limited,
a few extra minutes of reading can make an important difference. Gift books, trips to the library, family
time: all are part of the fun. Try some or all of the following:
Look for other reading and writing gifts: comic books, graphic novels, magazines,
special note cards. This is a great time
to find something connected to your child’s interests, like sports or crafts.
Holiday travel: Make travel a
reading adventure. Look for maps,
tourist books and posters! Prepare for
the trip, pass the time, and collect for a scrapbook.
Listen to audiobooks: Rent all kinds of audios from the
Library: Playaways, Playaway Views,
books on CDs. Tumblebooks are among the
many new offerings. Check them out then check them out!
Writing ideas: Write letters and thank you notes. Show your child how to write thank-you notes
in clever ways.
Make lists: Ask your child to help write shopping lists,
activity ideas and movie schedules.
Listmaking is good writing practice , great for supporting executive
function skills and a big help to adults!
If you incorporate some of the
above, you may find it enriches your family life and even create a new routine
for the new year!
