Back-to-School: Are You Ready?

               The transition from the lazy days of summer to the strict schedules of school can be difficult for young learners.  Which procedures do you have in place to ease your learner's return to school?

          Do you modify bedtimes in late summer in anticipation of a return to school?  Do you purchase school supplies in advance or wait until the teacher requests them?

       How do you handle lunch? After not packing a lunch for nearly two months, do you use the school's cafeteria? Or, are you grocery shopping for lunch foods the weekend just before school starts?
