education guide How To Be A Lunchbox Hero Ways To Reduce Living Expenses As A College Student Making Immunizations Easier Choosing The Right Preschool
Published by Engle Printing & Publishing Co., Inc.
How To Be A
Children can be picky eaters, making meal planning challenging for parents. Family dinners are difficult enough, but it can be even more troublesome to create lunches children will love. Parents can prepare lunches children are certain to devour by thinking outside the traditional lunchbox. Using some creativity and building off children’s favorite foods are the keys.
Make It Miniature
Mini versions of children’s favorite foods can be entertaining and can entice children to try things they normally would not. For example, consider making mini sandwiches cut into fun shapes with a cookie cutter. Or use small condiment cups to hold chicken salad, soup or yogurt.
Offer Variety
If children want to eat the same thing over and over again, mix it up in subtle ways. For example, add flavor to lunch meats with a piece of bacon. Alternately, parents may consider giving children a small buffet inside their lunch boxes. This way, if something does not tickle their taste buds, children will have other options at the ready. This technique also ensures that children will have something to snack on between meals. Lunch buffets do not have to be complicated. Include half a sandwich, a piece of fruit or an applesauce cup, some trail mix, and a granola bar. Look for complex carbohydrates and protein so that little bellies will feel full.
Go With What Works
If a child really enjoyed the previous night’s dinner, offer up a repeat for lunch the next day. Some schools have a microwave where hot foods can be reheated. If a microwave will not be available, invest in a thermos or a durable, insulated container that can keep food at an appropriate temperature.
Sneak in Some Nutrition
Add a slice of tomato to a plain cheese sandwich and serve it on wholewheat bread for added nutrition. Blend cauliflower into macaroni and cheese so it is barely noticeable. Mix and bake nutritious cereal bars that pack a nutritious punch, and consider using pureed fruit as the base.
Breakfast for Lunch
Many children love breakfast foods. Parents can use this affinity to their advantage, sending children to school with egg, bacon, and cheese bagel sandwiches or some cereal to which they can add milk bought from the cafeteria. Thin pancakes can be rolled and stuffed with fruit in a crêpe style that makes for a tempting treat.
Rely on School Lunch
School lunches should not be dismissed. When the pantry and refrigerator simply do not offer the right inspiration, let children try something provided by their schools. They may like the menu, and that will save parents time and effort in the morning. Plus, many school lunches are designed to be nutritionally balanced.

Living Expenses as a College Student
The cost of college tuition is a concern for many college-bound students and their families. The cost of a college education continues to rise, but it is not just tuition and room and board that students and their families must account for. Cost-of-living expenses can be substantial, but fortunately, there are several ways for college students to save money on living expenses and still make the most of their time at college. · Venture off campus. Towns that rely heavily on colleges or universities to support their economies typically offer deals to students willing to venture off campus. Local businesses, including restaurants and entertainment venues like miniature golf facilities and bowling alleys, may offer student discounts to entice young adults to leave campus. Students can take advantage of these offerings to save on food and entertainment. · Buy secondhand furnishings. College students living in their own apartments or dorm rooms may not have the financial resources to purchase new furniture. Rather than purchasing brand-new items they may end up discarding after moving out or graduating, college students can purchase secondhand items from local thrift stores or used furniture retailers that offer sturdy furnishings at lower prices. · Become a resident adviser. Resident advisers, often referred to as RAs, typically receive free or reduced room and board in exchange for living in the dorms and monitoring the floors they live on. Competition to be an RA
can be strong, but students who become RAs can save thousands of dollars on room and board costs over the course of their time at school. · Make your own meals. Meal plans may be ideal for college students during their freshman year, when they may still be adjusting to campus life. But older college students may want to consider skipping the meal plan in favor of preparing their own meals. Doing so can save students substantial amounts of money, and some students may even prefer the variety available at the local grocery store over the more limited offerings available at dining halls or other campus eateries. · Move off campus. Some schools do not permit freshmen and sophomores to live off campus, but older students may find that private housing is more affordable than on-campus apartments or dormitories. Students eligible to live in off-campus housing can contact local real estate agents to get a feel for the off-campus housing market before making a final decision.

SAFETY TIPS for
TRAVEL
The National Safety Council (NSC) says that 25 million students in the United States begin and end their school days on school buses. The NSC adds that riding a bus to school is 13 times safer than riding in a family vehicle and 10 times safer than walking. Although buses are designed for safety, student riders can take the following measures to make their bus trips even safer.
· Stand only in the designated school bus stop. Always stand on the sidewalk, lawn or curb

where the school bus stop is located. Stay away from the street because traffic in the morning and the afternoon can be very busy. · Arrive at the stop early. Rushing to the bus stop may cause one to make errors in judgment, including running into traffic to catch the bus. Students should leave early so they have ample time to catch the bus and obey all traffic laws.
· Only board and exit the bus when it is safe. Wait for the bus to come to a complete stop before
boarding or exiting. The driver will engage the stop sign and put on the flashing red lights. · Keep the aisles clear. Students should stay out of the aisle when the bus is in motion. They should store their backpacks on their laps or under their seats so the backpacks are not tripping hazards.
· Use seat restraints when available on the school bus. While not every school bus has
seatbelts, many now do.
· Stay seated while the bus is in motion.
Do not get up to engage with other riders. Also, students should keep their hands inside the windows.

the driver. Students who are unable to see the driver should assume the driver cannot see them. Check for safety signals from the bus driver to proceed when traffic has stopped. Always walk, and never run, around a bus.
· Exhibit good behavior and be aware of the surroundings. Good behavior allows students to hear any safety instructions and minimizes distractions for the bus driver.
By following these rules, school bus passengers may make their rides to school even safer.

Choosing the Right Preschool: As Easy as
1 2 3
Kindergarten used to mark a child’s first foray into formal education. But preschool has now taken up that mantle for many students. Some parents may recall their own preschool experiences, which may mostly have been extended moments of play, along with monitored fun. But as the world of education has become more competitive and students are required to meet certain standards at even earlier grade levels than before, preschool has undergone its own transformation. Academic preschools have become a popular choice for parents hoping their children can gain an extra edge. Rather than the play-based philosophy that preschools had adhered to in the past, academic preschools introduce students to the rigors of the classroom and often teach math and reading. Proponents of this type of learning say that children are sponges at early ages, and the more information they can be presented with, the more likely they are to retain it. Children who are able to sit and focus for 20 to 30 minutes at a time and are very curious and ask a lot of questions may make for the best candidates at academic-based preschools. Other children may be more comfortable attending play-based schools. While parents who hope to enroll their students in preschool may have to initially choose between a play- or academic-based curriculum, there are other factors to consider as well:
· Determine if proximity to home is important. Some parents
prefer that their children’s preschools be close to home, while others want a school closer to their office. If the commute to work is long, parents should keep in mind that children will spend more time at a preschool close to
home, which can cost more and reduce the amount of time parents and their children spend together.
· Decide if the school should be faith-based.
Religious organizations often offer their own faith-based preschool programs.
· Consider whether pre- and post-care services are available. A school that has flexible hours may be
appealing to some. This enables parents to drop off and pick up children according to their own work schedules or in coordination with school hours for other children in the family.
· Visit the school and assess the environment. A school may look excellent on paper, but visiting
the school during a school day will help parents get a feel for it. Parents should take their children along and get their opinion. Parents may love a particular school, but if the children are uncomfortable, parents might want to look elsewhere.
· Confirm the curriculum before enrolling.
Schools may have different educational philosophies. These can run the gamut from the Montessori method to the Waldorf approach to the HighScope approach. Becoming familiar with a school’s educational philosophy will help ensure that parents make the most informed decision possible.
· Go with your gut. Sometimes
choosing a preschool boils down to a facility that just feels right. At this stage in a child’s education, schooling is about learning social skills and becoming acclimated to the routines of a classroom.

making
easier With summer vacation drawing to a close, parents and children are preparing for the first day of school. In addition to purchasing new school supplies, finishing any summer assignments, and shopping for clothes, back-to-school tasks include making sure children are up to date on their immunizations. Most schools require children to be up to date with all immunizations before the beginning of the school year. Schools may only exempt students from receiving certain vaccinations due to religious reasons. For a list of state vaccination requirements and possible exemptions for schools in the United States, readers may visit www2a.cdc.gov/nip/ schoolsurv/schImmRqmt.asp. Physicians and various health organizations advise that children – and adults – adhere to a specific schedule of vaccinations that can help them develop antibodies to fend off a variety of illnesses. Unfortunately for youngsters who fear needles, most immunizations are administered intravenously. The American Academy of Pediatrics’ immunization schedule calls for children to get the bulk of their vaccines before age 2. However, additional vaccines must be administered later in life. And while children may outgrow their fear of needles as they approach adolescence, some may still resist. To make the immunization process less painful for children as they prepare to head back to school, parents can take certain steps.

· PUT ON A SMILE. Children often take their cues from their parents. If parents let on that they are nervous about the immunization shots, youngsters may become even more scared of needles. Make light of what is going to happen if the child understands what the visit is all about. Downplay any discomfort and resist the urge to say, “Don’t worry,” which may give the child the impression there is something to worry about. · BE OPEN AND HONEST. Older children may appreciate hearing the truth instead of being told a tall tale about the immunization process. Explain that the needle will only briefly penetrate the skin, meaning that the procedure will be done very quickly. · LISTEN TO CONCERNS. Parents should encourage their children to share about why they are nervous about receiving a shot. Offer support in a warm, matter-of-fact way. · OFFER A DISTRACTION. Let the child hold a video game or stuffed animal, or incentivize the process by promising a sweet or favorite treat, which can take the child’s focus off the shot being administered. · HOLD THE CHILD. Some children may find that sitting on a parent’s lap assuages their fears. Parents can let older children hug them or hold their hand for comfort. · USE A TOPICAL ANESTHETIC. Ask the doctor or nurse if there is a numbing swab or spray that can be used to take the bite out of the needle. · LEAD BY EXAMPLE. Parents may want to take their child with them when they receive vaccinations, so that he or she can witness that the process is both quick and relatively painless. Immunization shots are seldom fun for children or adults, but there are strategies to help the entire process be less painful, making back-to-school preparations more of a breeze.

STEM education is one influential initiative to reach schools in recent years, as evidenced by the increased focus educational institutions have placed on its components: science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). A hallmark of the STEM initiative is its focus on equipping youths with the knowledge and skills to evaluate ideas and then turn them into productive applications. According to the National Science Foundation, STEM subjects include chemistry, computer and information technology science, engineering, geosciences, life sciences, mathematical sciences, physics and astronomy, social sciences (anthropology, economics, psychology and sociology), and STEM education and learning research. Recognizing that an increased number of students are gravitating toward STEM-focused fields and that projected STEM job rates are rising steadily, schools have begun to beef up their offerings with regard to STEM subjects. Jobs in mathematics, computer system analysis, systems software, and biomedical engineering are just some of the careers in which anywhere from a 15 to 62 percent increase between 2010 and 2020 is predicted, according to the United States Department of Education. Individuals may believe that STEM study begins in high school, but the success of older students in STEM subjects is often shaped much earlier. That’s why parents and educators can do much to cultivate an interest in natural and social sciences as well as in math as early as possible. The following are a few ways to do just that: · Encourage participation in the community. Various national clubs and science-based organizations have begun to pay more attention to STEM and offer activities that can help to foster a greater love of science, engineering, and math. By joining such clubs and organizations, students can learn more about these subjects and reinforce their enjoyment. · Set up an internship or meet-and-greet. Take students to STEM-centered places of employment so they can get firsthand experience from within the STEM realm. Provide opportunities for students to chat with people in the fields and ask questions about the type of schooling necessary to pursue a particular degree, as well as whether there are any hobbies or other activities that could promote STEM learning. · Investigate school-based opportunities. Many schools are broadening course offerings and establishing STEM-based clubs, giving students the opportunities to get involved with other like-minded classmates. If a club isn’t already available, a teacher or a parent can consider volunteering to serve as the head of the club. STEM is a hot topic of discussion in the world of education. Students can expect to get plenty of experience with science- and math-related topics both inside and out of the classroom.

More Than School gives students a chance to learn and grow. During the course of their academic careers, students explore many different subjects, hopefully finding at least one that inspires them to pursue rewarding careers one day. Physical education is one subject that may be overlooked. Gym class may seem like just a fun elective, but the importance of physical education cannot be understated. Physical education can help children live healthier, more fulfilling lives, benefiting them in myriad ways. Physical education can do the following things:
· Improve health and stamina: According to
the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only 29 percent of high school students are getting the recommended 60 minutes a day of physical activity. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends that young people between the ages of 6 and 17 get at least an hour of physical activity each day. Physical education classes can help students meet or exceed those physical activity recommendations. · Create a love for sports: Gym class introduces students to various athletic activities, encouraging them to dabble in different sports. These opportunities may reveal to young children sports they will embrace and play for the rest of their lives. · Improve academic performance: A largescale study of 12,000 Nebraska schoolchildren published in The Journal of Pediatrics found that physical fitness could be linked to improved academic performance.
