Research has shown that students typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of a summer vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of the summer. How do parents prevent summer learning loss while still allowing their children a much needed summer break?

Theideaistofindasummerprogramthatfeaturesasafeenvironmentthatallowsyourchild the freedom to enjoy summer, while continuing to learn and build friendships. The environment that you choose should have balanced educational opportunities as well as activities that are age appropriate for your child. Age appropriate activities allow your child to feel comfortable, have fun, learn, and grow. The best summer programs feature educational activities that are fun and engaging so that children have so much fun that they don’t even realize that they are continuing to learn.

Weeklyfieldtripscanalsobeagreatlearningexperience.TakingchildrentotheWashing-ton Pavilion or a Sioux Falls Pheasants baseball game can be a great teaching tool without your children even realizing it. Special opportunities, such as swimming, gardening, karate, and roller skating will also keep your child’s active brain busy while experiencing the full benefitsofasummervacation.

Finding a program that encourages continuous learning through the summer is possible! Do some research! Ask some questions! Do children get a balance between social, physical, and structured activites? Are there quiet times where children can brush up on reading and literacy?

Having a fun, well-balanced summer may not only help your child succeed this Fall, but may be your child’s most enjoyable summer yet! n

After a long Winter, most kids are ready to get outside and let some of that pent up energy loose. With Spring here and Sum-mer just around the corner, there are a variety of athletic camps available through the Avera Sports Institute.

“While our traditional training programs are six to eight weeks in length and consist of three 90-minute workouts per week, our staff can develop a training program to meet your needs andfityourschedule,”saysJasonAskew,AveraSportsInstituteManager.

One of the most popular training programs is The Athletic Republic program, which features off-season, high-intensity, performance-enhancing training for competitive athletes ages 12 through adult. Athletes completing the six to eight week program average improvements of .10 seconds in the 10-yard dash, .15 seconds in the ProAgility run and two inches in vertical jump.

The Avera Sports Institute is also home to the SEBA Baseball Academy. This is a development program aimed at Sioux Falls VFW and Legion Baseball players. The academy runs April through July and can help improve skills such as: hitting, throwing,andfieldwork.Keybenefitsofthisprograminclude:•Individuallydesignedprograms•Workoutsdesignedspecificallyforbaseballplayers•Accesstothearea’spremierindoorhitting,throwing,

not MY family

A few months ago, while

having a disagreement, my

eldest daughter used some rather colorful

language in an effort to get across her feelings

toward me. These words were not met with

agreement and she and I, along with a bar of

Dove soap, had a discussion in the bathroom.

No more issues, until last night. While cleaning

up after dinner, she was telling a story about

something that had her fired up and the mother-

of-all swear words slipped out. She covered

her mouth in horror. While it was not in malice,

punishment was still warranted. We asked her

what she thought her punishment should be.

She sighed, “I’ll get the soap.” My husband and

I laughed and I made her fold a giant basket of

laundry instead. I guess I have her well-trained

at least.

– H. Gillen

I told my youngest boy Tyler(3) that I was going to be his teacher at daycare the next day and he looks at me all sad with tears welling up in his eyes and he says “ Then who will be my mom?!?!” It was so sad and funny that I laughed with tears in my eyes.

Telling a bedtime story. Me “So there once

was a little boy who lived with gorillas for a

family...” Our 3 ½ year old said (while singing)

Lion & Lamb Paper Plate Project:

March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb, so why not track those weather days with this Lion and Lamb paper plate project!For our lion, we used an orange paper streamer to make this lion’s mane, but you can also use pieces of yarn if you have them.For the lamb my 2 year old had fun helping place these cotton balls around the outside of the plate. This gave our lamb its fuzzy look.

K A R A’ S K R E AT I O N S


The number one preschool and elementary school craft supply we have on hand at our house would have to be paper plates. Here are some easy projects you can do with your little ones using paper plates.

St. Patrick’s Day Projects

The end of the rainbow is where the Leprechaun hides with his pot of gold. We made this rainbow with part of a plate, some cotton ball clouds and some water color paint. You could also use crayons or glitter. What fun would a rainbow be without the pot of gold? We made ours with water color paints, crayons and we made the gold coins with school glue and glitter for some added sparkle.4 paper plates are used to make this Celtic spiral shamrock. We used a green crayon to draw some Celtic spiral shapes and then painted over them with water colors. The stem is cut from a paper plate as well. A little bit of school glue holds it all together. n

Exploring Celiac Disease with Nick & The Shrinking Inner Spaceship

When her son, Nick, was diagnosed with Celiac Disease, Marcia Schmitz was scared. There is currently no cure for Celiac Disease and they knew that their family was embarking on a life chang-ing journey. The more they educated themselves about Celiac Disease and how gluten affected Nick’s body, the less scary the disease seemed. The family wanted to share the same sense of manageable-ness with other families and came up with the idea for Nick & The Shrinking Inner Spaceship.

Nick & The Shrinking Inner Spaceship is the story of Nick and his labrat(aka“littlebrotherCharlie”).Nickhasbuiltaspaceshipthat once an experienced pilot (aka Nick) is driving will shrink and be able to go inside Charlie’s stomach and explore. Nick goes through many of Charlie’s systems while discovering how our body digests food. Nick and his spaceship eventually exit Charlie’s littlebody(you’llhavetoreadthebooktofindouthow!)justintime to hear his Mom calling.

The book also gives readers four of Nick’s favorite Gluten Free recipes for others to enjoy with their family and friends. The book is currently available at great local retailers such as: Pomegranate Market, Simply Perfect, and East Dakotah Natural Foods Co-op. n
