Summer day care: 11 summer child care options for any schedule and every budget
11 summer child care options for any schedule and every budget
Yay! Summer break is here … for your kids. For you? Not so much. For many parents, when school’s out, it means it’s time to find summer child care. Two popular choices that pop into parents’ heads are summer camps or hiring a nanny (and for good reason — they’re great options). However, depending on your schedule and your budget, these options may or may not be the perfect fit.
“Every year, I register for a few camps and then assume I’ll make it work with sitters and grandparent help for the rest,” says Nora Esposito, a mom of three in Huntington, New York. “Every year, I wish I was better prepared.”
Whether you need care all summer or affordable ideas for filling in the gaps, these 11 summer child care options (or a mix of a few) should have you covered.
1. Hire a summer nanny
Find a summer nanny
Hiring a summer nanny is one of the easiest options for parents that requires the least amount of coordination, as nannies will typically come to your home. You may find a college student or teacher looking for seasonal work, but summer’s also a good start time to hire a nanny who will care for your child all year. Some nannies may also be open to participating in a nanny camp, in which they can join forces with other nannies to plan regular activities for the kids throughout the summer.
Benefits:
- Convenient.
- Personalized care.
- Daily activities planned around the child’s development and interests.
Cost: Based on 2021 Care.com data, the national average cost of a nanny for one child averaged $694 per week, or about $17.35 per hour, and $715 per week for two children, or about $17.88 per hour. Rates vary based on where you live, the nanny’s experience, what you need them to do and how many kids you have. For a better idea of what your costs could look like, try our rates calculator.
To cut costs, make sure you pay your summer nanny on the books so you can take advantage of tax breaks.
There’s a good chance the amount you’ll save will be more than you owe in taxes!
Tips: Start looking early! Data shows most parents don’t start looking for a summer nanny until June — and by that time, most available nannies (especially the good ones!) have already lined up work.
2. Bring in a summer sitter
Find a summer babysitter
If your schedule is more flexible or your summer care needs are more sporadic or less frequent, you may want to hire a part-time babysitter (or two) to fill in on days you’re in office or need child care at home. Babysitters often work year-round, and there are also seasonal sitters, often students and teachers, who need extra income.
Hiring a summer sitter your kids love is a great way to keep everyone happy and cared for, and many sitters are also available for evenings and weekends too.
Benefits:
- Flexible.
- Cost-effective.
- Personalized care.
Cost: The hourly rate for a babysitter ranges anywhere from $13.25 per hour in San Antonio, Texas to $19.50 per hour in Seattle, Washington, based on current Care.com data. For a better idea of the cost of a sitter near you, try our babysitting rates calculator. Plus, you can apply these babysitting expenses to the child care tax credit next April and save up to $1,200.
Tips: Again, start looking early! And, if possible, try to line up more than one sitter for filling in gaps.
3. Consider a nanny share
Find a nanny share
More affordable than hiring a full-time nanny for your family alone is a nanny share, in which two (or sometimes more) families share one nanny and rotate homes.
Benefits:
- More affordable than 1:1 nanny care.
- Daily activities planned around the child’s development and interests.
- Socialization with at least one other child.
Cost: In general, the cost of sharing a nanny is about two-thirds what you’d pay to have your own nanny.
Two-thirds of the national average cost of a nanny for one child ($694 per week) is about $463 per week, which adds up to about $231 in savings a week if you share a nanny with another family. And just like hiring a nanny on your own, paying on the books gives both families in a nanny share the opportunity to capitalize on tax breaks.
Tips: Check out The Complete Guide to Nanny Shares for everything from getting started to making it work.
4. Find or create a summer child care co-op
A child care co-op is an especially cost-effective option that works well for families with a parent who has a part-time or flexible schedule. “Child care co-ops — swaps with friends and neighbors — are a great low-cost option,” says Leslie Forde, a working mom advocate, researcher and founder of Mom’s Hierarchy of Needs. “Everyone takes turns watching the kids, so that each person gets at least one or two days of coverage, free of charge.”
“Child care co-ops — swaps with friends and neighbors — are a great low-cost option.
— LESLIE FORDE, WORKING MOM ADVOCATE
”Benefits:
- Convenient.
- Extremely cost-effective.
- Socialization with at least one other child.
Cost: In most setups, a child care co-op is free for the families involved. Hosting families may need to plan to pay for snacks or summer activities when they’re on duty, depending on the terms agreed upon by the co-op members.
Tips: There is a limit to how many kids the average parent will feel comfortable watching on their own, so this and the number of hours you can commit to providing care may put a cap on how much child care you can count on. The success of this model relies on regular, clear communication between co-op members.
With options ranging from a few days to the entire summer, summer day camps are a fun way to keep kids busy in the summer months.
“School-aged children thrive in the company of their peers, and summer camp programs provide them with the opportunity to continue social interactions throughout the summer months,” notes Donna Whittaker, vice president of curriculum and education at Big Blue Marble Academy.
“School-aged children thrive in the company of their peers, and summer camp programs provide them with the opportunity to continue social interactions throughout the summer months.”
— DONNA WHITTAKER, VICE PRESIDENT OF CURRICULUM AND EDUCATION, BIG BLUE MARBLE ACADEMY
Benefits:
- Reliable care.
- Social interaction.
- Age-appropriate activities and skills, which, according to Whittaker, can prevent “learning loss” in the summer.
Cost: The price tag on day camps can vary widely, from pricey sailing camps to budget-friendly day camps hosted by your local YMCA or Parks and Recreation department. According to the American Camp Association (ACA), the average price of day camp is around $178.49 a day this year, and for sleep-away camp, it’s $448.53 a day. You may qualify for the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit if camp is needed so you can work and if your children are under age 13.
Tips: If you haven’t capitalized on early bird specials, which can cut camp costs, inquire about financial aid options or research free or low-cost camps in your area.
6. Enroll in day care
Find a day care
Enrolling your child in a local day care center is a great way to get reliable full-time summer coverage that will fuel their socialization and mind.
“Young kids thrive in learning environments that provide meaningful experiences, supportive interactions and continuity in learning, and day care summer programs do just that,” says Allison Wilson, senior director of curriculum and innovation at Stratford School. “Between reading and STEAM activities that bring stories to life, students can continue their social-emotional and academic development through learning experiences during the summer months.”
Benefits:
- Reliable care.
- Social interaction.
- Age-appropriate learning activities.
Cost: In 2020, the average cost for one child in a day care or child care center was $340 a week and $300 a week for a family care center — and those figures continue to rise.
You can help offset these costs by applying the expenses to the child care tax credit in the same way you would for a summer camp.
Tips: Start looking early, and put your child on multiple waitlists. Priority will always go to returning families, so finding a day care to take your child can be tricky if they’re not enrolled year-round.
7. “Stack” online classes
If you have older kids who are comfortable using a computer, Forde suggests “stacking” online classes — aka, having kids take back-to-back online courses to fill chunks of time. While it’s not a viable option for the entire summer, it’s good for filling gaps, particularly when you’re working from home.
“There are amazing online programs for kids that can keep them engaged and learning something new for an hour or two at a time,” Forde says. “I’ve strategically stacked two classes, such as a piano class followed by a math lesson, for my kids back-to-back at times when I need added coverage.
”
Benefits:
- Lots of availability.
- Summer learning on a wide variety of topics from home.
Cost: Depending on the class and duration, prices vary widely. Camp Invention offers an online program — Camp Invention Connect — which costs $245 for a week of classes from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and includes supplies for each day. Outschool offers a database of smaller scale kids’ classes to choose from, including an Intro to Animation course that meets once a week for 55 minutes for five weeks and costs $160.
Tips: Get kids involved in the process. They’re more likely to get excited — and stay put — when it’s a course they helped choose.
8. Consider an au pair
Au pairs hail from foreign regions and stay with families for an extended period. In exchange for lodging (and usually a small allowance), they help care for kids and do light housework. While summer-only au pairs aren’t an option due to the specific nature of the visa, once you’ve had an au pair for 12 months, you can elect 6- or 9-month options thereafter.
“Last summer, we were in a bind, so we decided to try an au pair — best decision!” says Aimee Goldsmith, a mom of four in Greenwich, Connecticut. “I was nervous about having someone live with us — and worried she wouldn’t feel comfortable — but it was a unique relationship and helped us so much throughout the summer when my kids were off, but my husband and I were still working.”
Benefits:
- Convenient.
- Personalized care.
- Exposure to different cultures, languages and customs.
Cost: Trying to find an au pair without an agency is difficult, and not advisable. In addition to matching “host families” with an au pair, the agency sponsors visas, covers training and offers au pair accident and sickness insurance, among other things. Prices vary, but for reference, the agency Au Pair in America requires an annual program fee of $9,275; a match fee of $475; and a minimum weekly stipend for au pairs of $195.75 (which is required across the country).
Tips: After the initial fees, a weekly stipend of under $200 may not seem like a lot, but there are other costs to consider, including food, transportation and auto insurance if they drive your car.
9. Work in a play-friendly environment
For some parents, working while your kids play or do activities nearby is an option, especially if you can work remotely.
“If your child has reached the age and level of independence where you can get some work done while they play,” Forde suggests, “try setting up a series of play activities or bring art supplies and books.” You can try this setup at a local cafe or community center, or even at the playground, if you have Wi-Fi or a portable hotspot.
Benefits:
- Free.
- Works in a pinch.
Tips: Go prepared! Don’t expect your kids — especially if they’re little — to sit quietly next to you while you work. Bring activities (preferably ones they’ve never seen before).
10. Consider a hotel
Yes, really. “A friend of mine paid for a membership at a local hotel for access to their pool and fitness center — largely because they provide child care,” Forde says. “If you live in an area where there are some larger hotels, you might find a similar option where, via membership, you can take your child to activities there or to the on-site sitter while you can get work done.”
“A friend of mine paid for a membership at a local hotel for access to their pool and fitness center — largely because they provide child care.”
— LESLIE FORDE, WORKING MOM ADVOCATE
“There are also hotels that offer ‘kids clubs’ and programming for hotel guests,” Forde continues. “Even if you don’t actually choose to stay, it can be worth the money to pay for a membership or hotel stay in order to get access to the child care coverage for a short stint in the summer.”
Benefits:
- Activities and socialization.
Cost: Prices vary, but the El Conquistador in Tucson, Arizona charges $45 for four hours of child care and $75 for eight hours (both include meals). That said, you also need to pay for a room, which averages $155 to just under $200 per night in the summer months. Go in on the room with another working parent, and it gets more affordable.
Tips: Book far in advance if possible, for both availability and rate purposes.
11. Build a hybrid summer care plan
Combining various care options may be the setup that works best with your budget and schedule. This could mean taking part in a co-op a few mornings each week, signing up for two or three camps and filling in the blanks with a favorite babysitter. Or you might combine a half-day camp with a half-day nanny share.
Cost: Pick and choose care options, based on your budget.
Tips: Coordinating multiple care options requires advanced planning, so avoid winging it.
Figure out what’s most important to you (such as participation in a particular camp or care at a consistent time), and then, build your summer care plan from there.

Summer and holiday skin care
After a cold winter, we always look forward to summer and holidays to pamper our skin with warm sunshine. At the same time, we should not forget that it is during the summer period that our skin is subjected to serious tests – dry and hot air, dust and, of course, ultraviolet radiation. All these negative factors increase the work of the sebaceous glands, leading to skin pollution, various inflammations, peeling, dehydration, contribute to the formation of wrinkles and increased pigmentation.
Therefore, in the summer, it becomes necessary to adjust home facial care in such a way as to protect the skin from the negative effects of the environment.
Facial skin care at this time of the year should also remain comprehensive and consist of important stages – cleansing, toning, moisturizing, nourishing and protecting. But at the same time, some cosmetics should be excluded, replaced or added.
Step 1. Cleansing
Cleansing the face skin in summer should be more thorough, because the dust that clogs the pores can provoke various inflammations and rashes.
All cleansers in summer should be as light as possible, for example in gel form, and preferably contain refreshing and antibacterial ingredients.
Cleansing should be carried out in the morning and evening, and during the day, if necessary, special matting or cleansing wipes can be used.
Step 2: Toning
Applying toner is one of the most important skincare steps you shouldn’t skip.
In summer, the skin of the face especially needs toning. Light tonics and hydrosols are well suited for this. It is good if the product contains extracts of chamomile, calendula, aloe, witch hazel, urea, components that have an antioxidant, soothing, disinfecting effect.
Step 3. Basic care
In summer, the skin needs increased hydration and nourishment. The ideal cream for summer care should have a light texture (gel, fluid, emulsion, serum), intensely moisturize, protect against antioxidants and active ultraviolet radiation.
It is good if the composition contains amino acids, lactic acid, hyaluronic acid, collagen, elastin, vitamins C and E. Undesirable components are retinol, enzymes and fruit acids, as they increase the sensitivity of the skin to UV radiation.
Summer day face cream must contain SPF, because Active exposure to sunlight contributes to premature aging of the skin.
GiGi Recovery Daily Hypoallergenic Light Day Cream SPF30 is ideal for daily skin care during the summer.
It contains innovative components, perfectly moisturizes, soothes and protects the skin, promotes the production of collagen.
For aging skin, the GiGi New Age Comfort Day Cream concentrated cream is an excellent solution, which intensively moisturizes the skin, preventing dehydration, smoothes wrinkles, tightens the oval of the face and contains sunscreens.
In summer, the skin needs not only hydration, but also nourishment. At the same time, it is better to use the cream for nourishing and restoring the skin at night, about one and a half to two hours before bedtime.
Don’t forget to take care of the skin around the eyes and use a light gel with moisturizing, cooling and lifting effect instead of an eye cream.
Step 4. Optimal make-up
In summer, it is desirable to minimize the use of decorative cosmetics. It is better to completely abandon the foundation, replacing it with a light moisturizing BB or CC cream with SPF.
Step 5. Additional care
In addition to the main daily care steps, in summer the skin also needs additional care in the form of moisturizing masks, soft gommages and scrubs, and enzyme peels.
Antioxidant and moisturizing concentrated serums are a must have for the summer season.
Our lips are also exposed to the sun, so stock up on a good SPF balm for them.
Step 6. Sun protection
One of the main features of facial skin care in the summer is mandatory sun protection.
Cream with SPF 15-20 is suitable for the city. If the skin is prone to pigmentation, then protection should be at least SPF 30. On vacation in hot countries, mountains, where the sun shines especially hot, you should stock up on cream with SPF 50-60.
GiGi’s special line of sunscreens contains UVA and UVB filters and is enriched with beneficial ingredients that protect the skin from sun exposure to the maximum. GiGi Sun Care SPF 50 is ideal for the face.
The beauty and health of the skin require an integrated approach, so in addition to home care, be sure to follow your diet and drink regularly.
Wear sunglasses and a hat to protect yourself from squinting in the sun and prevent expression lines from forming.
By following these tips, you will preserve the beauty of your skin and look irresistible even in 40-degree heat!
cleansing, moisturizing, sun protection
Care in the warm season is significantly different from what is practiced in the cold. In summer, we are not ready to overload the skin, but we do not want to sacrifice an effective result either. What kind of products should be in a cosmetic bag?

Summer skin care
Multi-step skin care during the hot season seems like a bad idea. That’s all – first “washer”, then tonic, essence, serum and at the end of the cream – good for winter, but not now.
In summer, you can quite meet 10 minutes in the morning and 15 in the evening. This is enough to:
It would be great if they invented a product that would cleanse, and invigorate, and refresh, and mattify, and moisturize, and protect at the same time. Then our stay at the cosmetic table would be reduced to two minutes altogether. But while there is no such super remedy, I offer a list of my summer favorites.
Back to index
Sun protection
These products are applied last, but let’s start with them – the most important in summer. In June, I tried a lot of sunscreens. And, perhaps, in terms of ease and uniformity of application, comfort and invisibility on the face, 9 is the leader in my personal rating.0102 Anthelios Mattifying Facial Spray with SPF50, La Roche-Posay . It can even be worn over makeup! At the same time, it is not sticky and does not leave whitish streaks. It spreads very easily and leaves a nice cooling finish.
And the spray controls oily sheen throughout the day and at the same time fits into any handbag.
Advice
If you don’t want to get freckles, age spots and a “map of Paris” on your face prematurely, use protective products. Do this even on days when the sun hides behind the clouds, and even if you plan to be outside for no more than 15 minutes! The optimal degree of protection is SPF 25, but facial products with SPF 30 and above are recommended for white girls. And yes, if you use creams and sprays with chemical filters, apply them 10-15 minutes before leaving the house.
Back to TOP
Cleansing
Thick Cleansing Gel I replaced at the beginning of summer with Light Moisturizing Foam Cleanser from CeraVe. Both because it is light and because it is moisturizing: thanks to hyaluronic acid, ceramides and amino acids, there is neither a feeling of discomfort nor a feeling of skin tightness in the composition.
I also really like that it can wash off eye makeup – the foam does it easily and naturally. Even resistant mascara is for rent.
Advice
Those with oily and combination skin have a hard time in summer. You will not have time to wash your face, as your face shines again! And in the evening, rashes and inflammations may appear … Matting wipes will solve the problem – in the summer, in my opinion, they should be in every purse. These wipes absorb dust and other contaminants. Use them throughout the day as needed and always before powdering (if this is not done, the powder can become a “conductor” of impurities in the pores, due to which local inflammation may appear on the face by evening.
Well, if you still have breakouts, La Roche-Posay’s Effaclar Ultra Concentrated Serum for Imperfection Skin will help. It contains as many as three acids with exfoliating and renewing effects, and in a few days there will most likely be no trace of imperfections.
Moisturizing
I have several favorite moisturizers with different textures. I choose according to my mood. But, to be honest, for a couple of weeks now I’ve been applying only a new Revitalift Filler Day Cream SPF 50 by L’Oréal Paris. It just has a sea (as many as three types) of hyaluronic acid, which quickly replenishes moisture in the skin thanks to microfiller technology. A high protection factor (SPF 50) from the sun allows you to save on additional care. When else to use such a cream, if not in the hot summer?
When it comes to skin care around the eyes, here I am more conservative and for a year now I have not changed cream-filler Renergie Yeux Multi-Lift Ultra by Lancôme. It has everything you need for this delicate area – natural hyaluronic acid for hydration, flax seed extract for nutrition and ingredients that eliminate dark circles and puffiness. This cream relieved my skin of “crow’s feet”, for which I am very grateful to him (that’s why I’m not going to change it to any other yet).
com and Redfin often are lower for schools serving low-income students and higher concentrations of Black and Hispanic students. If parents vote with their feet, the ratings may independently contribute to even greater levels of segregation across schools.
All districts and states do; the 2015 Every Student Succeeds Act requires states and school districts to publish report cards that include information on student performance, accountability ratings, per-pupil expenditures, and other information that parents and school officials deem relevant.
The right question to start with is: What problems are school rankings intended to solve?
Moreover, policy entrepreneurs now realize that there is as much, if not more, interest in a school’s contribution to a child’s growth than in a snapshot of where children are at a particular moment in time.

In either case, consumers should approach school ratings with a healthy skepticism, particularly since assessment results and proficiency benchmarks are not comparable across state lines.

The results of applying our author’s methodology are amazing, especially given the lack of homework. Our first-graders: 
In France or the US, such “entertainment” is already considered a literary norm and is included in the state educational standards (although they are not in the US, but there are recommended reading lists there too). 
I think that domestic kids would sell their souls to the devil if Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings were taught in the classroom, but not that’s all! 
In a word, everything is very dynamic and unpredictable, which means it is interesting! 
They are complemented by a small set of foreign classical literature. 
For a poor country with a difficult fate and many domestic political problems, reading is the most accessible way to forget about the surrounding reality. Therefore, they really love to read here and practice at every good opportunity. Among the favorites of local teenagers: 
Children go to primary school from 4 to 11 years old, and to secondary school from 11 to 18 years old. 
Not everyone manages to get into the school they want, and the closer the X day (in March for secondary schools and in April for elementary schools), the greater the excitement of parents and heated discussions on the Internet. 
One school will give a huge list of literature to study, organize a trip to Stonehenge. In another, children will be taken to the British Museum in London and invited to the school by art experts to give a lecture. And the third will be limited to photos and materials on the board. There are no textbooks, especially one for everyone, in elementary school either, children are given printouts and worksheets pasted into their notebooks. 
They are free for parents, but they are financed not only by the state, but also by church organizations. They follow the same educational standard as regular schools, but with additional instruction in the respective religion. 
Since most of the budget comes from the state, religious schools are required to take part of the children from non-believing families or those who identify themselves with other religions. But there are few such places: an average of 15-20% of the total. Often, parents begin to deliberately take their child to church in advance, just to get a place in a good school. Schools understand this and try to weed out pseudo-believers. In many Catholic schools, in addition to the letter from the pastor, they are now asking for additional baptismal certificates for children and parents. 
These are the famous private boarding schools, so familiar to us from English literature. From there, the children come home only for the holidays. Tuition costs an average of £22-25,000 a year. This, by the way, is not much more expensive than a “daytime” private school: their prices vary between £12-24,000 per year, depending on the rating. 
Therefore, schools calculate in advance how this or that parent can be useful. 
If suddenly the school managed to improve its official status, then real estate prices in this area instantly skyrocket: having a good school nearby is a very important factor for any British family. 
Working with foreigners, consultants can advise the area to live in and connect with tutors to improve the level of English and familiarize the child with the requirements for exams. 
Older children are often distributed to international schools: children with different first languages study there, and until the child improves his English, this is the most comfortable learning environment for him. 
For a whole year, an English governess prepared children for studying at an English school. There were clients who decided to move to London, and their 8-year-old child did not speak English at all. The governess had only six months to teach the boy the language. Of course, he did not speak perfectly, but it helped to avoid stress: at first the child did not want to move to London, he was afraid of problems with new friends at an international school, ”Grogol says.

“We need to work with the ward, making the most of his own resources, while maintaining his independence,” is the important principle of the long-term care system at the Joy of Old Age foundation. 
But they themselves believe that the school and the whole system of long-term care will provide an opportunity to look at the usual work and the training of colleagues from a different angle. And change it for the better. Each of the students of the school feels personally responsible for later training the staff of his institution, working with the wards and their relatives. And as a result, to make the institution a methodological center for the entire region, and even for neighboring ones,” says Elizaveta Oleskina , director of the Joy of Old Age fund.

My son’s 1st grade year was off-the-charts incredible. He loves being at school! He misses it this Summer. Along with the academic side, the emotional & social aspects of this school’s education are beyond what I had expected. The team creates unique, life-changing experiences for the students & parents. Susan, Anne, & Lindsay have all been mentors for me as I’ve been navigating what it’s like to have a grade-school child. My son is THRIVING in all aspects & I’m beyond grateful to this school!… Read 4 reviews

Teachers are amazing, almost all of them have been here for at least 15 years. They still put maximum effort into their job even after all that time. I am very satisfied with all my teachers. Athletics and activities are phenomenal! Many opportunities are given for students to pursue whatever activities they choose. I have yet to meet any real bullies – overall I feel respected and taken into account for, even with all these students. The staff doesn’t just see the students as names on papers, even with around 4,000 students in the district total. I can definitely call WTHS my home. Diversity is awesome, as I meet people of different races/ethnicities every day. To top it all off, cafeteria food isn’t horrible! Overall, I, as a freshman am very satisfied with my experience so far at WTHS. I very much recommend this school for anyone who wants to have an enriching, fun, enjoyable high school experience!… Read 962 reviews

Throughout my years at HMS, I have met my best friends. I have become very close with a group, however the school’s schedule and activities allows myself to become friends with many others outside of my friend group. However, one thing I would change is the gym uniforms. Although I know these are uniforms, many students complain about them. I think we should be allowed to wear whatever type of pants or shorts we want, then just wear the uniform shirt. All together, my experience at Highland Middle School was exciting and I looked forward to going to learn…. Read 25 reviews

There may be some fights at times but it’s still a good school who focuses mostly on academic.

Another thing is I would like to see more opportunities for the failing grade students, I want the teachers to persuade more to the students to succeed.

Talk about making my teacher heart burst!
When we know that children only have those precious and quick 10 minutes of sitting in them before we start to lose them, we need to use this to our advantage. And in preschool, we get to have classes that are interactive and fun. After preschool, most children won’t get those fun and magical moments that are the highlight of preschool. I always start circle time with action and movement songs or dance songs because then I know that their brains are ready to listen. They’ve crossed the midline, and now they can concentrate and focus better as they listen to me and their friends in the class.
Or about the funny thing their pet did that morning.
Question of the Day helps children learn about:
I like to let my students come up and put their own name under the color they selected.
We have used them to find items in the room that begin with that letter sound. We have also had lengthy discussions about why some of the letters are red (vowels) and some of the letters are blue (consonants). There are so many options for great literacy building with these question of the day cards!
Plus on the days when the words don’t rhyme, it’s a great opportunity to talk about why they don’t rhyme but perhaps what they have in common like both seed and sun begin with the /s/ sound. 
All I do is print and cut once. Laminating still has its benefits, but I just love that shortcut.

4.1.3049-13. In the preschool educational institution, a balanced diet is 5 times a day: breakfast, second breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner. (according to the daily routine). 
Sometimes teachers attach importance to this very moment. With regard to personal readiness, it implies the presence of a child’s desire to go to school. He must want it. The child must want to learn. And most kids want to learn. But the first days, months pass, and suddenly it turns out that not everything turns out as we would like. Both parents are disappointed, and the child himself no longer wants to go to school. What is the matter here? Unfortunately, many children do not have time to go through their process of physical and psychological development by the age of seven. And parents demand from them, because the teacher demands it. Ultimately, the reluctance to learn and behavioral deviations are most clearly seen in the fourth or fifth grade. 
It is necessary to learn lessons – he will sit down and teach, this does not cause him much anxiety. What is the indicator of this readiness? For example, at 6 years old, a child should be able to set the table, wash their hands without being reminded, be able to restrain the desire to eat candy before dinner with free admission to sweets, even if no one sees it. Should be able to say hello, say goodbye, sit and do something for 25 minutes. Most importantly, here’s what you should pay attention to: when a child asks a question, does he wait for an answer or just ask and immediately forget about his question? This may be an indicator of his ability to concentrate when listening to the answer. It is very important to develop the child’s speech. There is a book called How to Prepare a Child for School, which has been compiled by many experts, and it gives what parents need to know. And there is also a wonderful book “Psychological prevention of problems in the learning and development of schoolchildren.
” There, in particular, there is also about the psychological readiness of the child for school, and about the signs of minimal brain dysfunction, and much more interesting things. A wonderful book.

I and other people really wanted to ride it. Other rides were closed temporarily but reopened and I’ve heard people complain about rides being closed. I just went to Fiesta, Texas and all rides were open to close all day, so Six Flags over Texas needs to improve in that regard. Other than that it was a great time.

People cease to communicate verbosely, write beautiful detailed letters to each other. They prefer to respond simply and concisely to messages in instant messengers. Many have forgotten about reading fiction and educational literature. But after all, the Internet also gives us an unlimited opportunity to improve ourselves in our speech by visiting intellectual educational sites, reading accessible educational articles, electronic versions of works of art. But why do many people forget about it, preferring to use such an unlimited information resource for entertainment purposes? 
This amount is enough for everyday communication. But if a person studies further, reads cognitive and fiction, his vocabulary can increase up to 10,000 words. Of course, not all of these words (rarely used or special) will be actively used in speech. 
For example, the word “axiom” was most often interpreted as “an automatic machine for accepting money for school meals”, because indeed such an automatic machine from the company “Axioma” is located at the school. Or the word “rags” was defined as “the chopping part of an ax”, here, apparently, a parallel was drawn with the word “chopping”. The word “briefing” has been defined by many as a kind of sport, since its ending is similar to such words as “surfing”, “diving”, “curling”. The word “pious” was interpreted as “king”, “ruler”, simply confused with the word “raja”. 
Most likely this is due to the fact that most of these words are very rarely used in ordinary everyday life. And some are no longer used at all. For example, if in the 17th-19th centuries the guys, most likely, knew and used the word “dinghy”, dreaming of sailing on sailing ships to distant countries, now, when sailing ships are no longer used and you can get to the other side of the world by flying on an airplane, the word “schwerbot” disappears from our vocabulary. And if someday it is found in works of fiction, then the reader will have to turn to an explanatory dictionary. 
Outside of school, we learn a lot of new words when interacting with adults, reading fiction, magazines, newspapers, TV shows and movies, visiting theaters, listening to audio books and radio. 
It is replenished with new words, and some words and expressions lose their relevance and are gradually forgotten. The life of each language is connected with the life of society. The faster the development of society, the more noticeable the vocabulary is replenished with new words and the faster some 
The diary also allows us to improve our literacy with the correct use of the rules of the Russian language. 
And reading the works of generally recognized Russian writers allows you to see the beauty of the great Russian language. You can also read educational books.

In the 6th grade, 1128 answers were received. Of these, 168 are correct, and this is already 15% of the total number of answers. Our work was a motivator for some students who independently studied these words and in the third stage of the study made fewer mistakes in their definition. The dynamics of the development of the vocabulary of students over a year and a half is positive.
