What should I practice this week for school readiness?

I’m a nanny trying to get these kids ready for school! I have a 2nd grader who probably needs some summer habits phased out.

We’ve already done 30mins of out loud reading, 15mins of creative time and chores this summer, but I’m wondering about the silly sounds!! He’s constantly making little noises should I try to get him to stop? Only outside silly noises?

I’m thinking making sure he puts everything away, and getting used to quiet hours. Maybe asking to read in his head ?

Any more you wish the parents would practice before they go to school?

Thanks!

What are some healthy boundaries that you guys have made with older kids?

Hi!

I nanny some older elementary kids, and I love them dearly. I’m looking to see what rules and regulations you guys have instilled in your houses to copy and paste into mine!

Like profanity, or screen time —esp with older boys, since that’s how they seem to socialize, walking and outside time, activities, if you do those too!

Thanks!

How hard would it be for a beginner knitter (crochet for ten years) to make this sweater?

I’m knitting a striped sweater anyway! Would it be that hard? The ladies at the yarn store said it would be really hard to switch colors. I believe them but I tried to crochet this sweater for literally 6 months! Redoing every crochet and measuring everything it was so impossible to crochet.

Protest on the capital??

Anybody know about the protest at like 930am? They just marches through the east village with American flags and one flag that had G.R.U.

Hi I’m a nanny for infants and the one thing I always let them do is watch the construction going on. 10x better than screentime.

Is it rude to the construction workers tho to just be like staring?! I always feel rude, some of the guys get it and will like beep the horn or something to make the babies squeal!
