A Blog for CLE Family Life

-
Cleveland Rocks!  We have the most passionate sports fans, great food and even one of the Great Lakes in our area.  Surrounded by suburbs offering a variety of landscapes families tend to stick in the area even if they swore they wouldn't when they were younger.  If Clevelanders DO leave, they tend to come back... eventually.  What is Cleveland missing?  That's easy... in the past few years crime, lead poisoning and schools have headlined news stories and not in a positive way.  Maybe what we need is a focus on families and what family life COULD be in Cleveland.  Many people do not know about the many programs available right here in our backyard that cater to families and children.  Families who are struggling do not know where or how to get advice or help. 

 If we step back and highlight these amazing resources we will add to the already great Cleveland area.  My husband and I have a 5 year old girl and a 2 year old boy.  We both grew up in the area and have stayed here.  Yes, we get sick of the horrible winters, but our families are here and they are our support system.  As an Early Childhood Educator (that's code for a preschool teacher), I tend to know about family friendly activities surrounding our area.  I pass these on to my families at the preschool, but find that this information is usually unknown or unadvertised.  This is why I started this blog.

 I hope that this blog becomes a place where families in the Cleveland area can come to find information they need, resources and activities in the area.

Simple Dessert Math!

Creating meaningful, learning activities does not have to take weeks of planning and lots of supplies.  In fact, it can and should be flexible and impromptu!  As a teacher I tend to have things that most families don't have lying around the house, but that doesn't mean you NEED to have these materials to create a cool experience! For example, at my house we try to incorporate learning into little things.  So when I make something new for dinner we go around the table and rate it from 1-5.  This sounds silly, but it's a great conversation starter AND a way to incorporate math into the daily routine.  Yes, actually using a rating scale and rating a meal is math.  Children are developing sense of quantity and measurement by deciding what to rate food they ate!  Want to take it a step further and incorporate writing?  Record it on paper! The other day my niece was over and she doesn't like to try new foods.  I know this, so we had an imprompt...

COVID-19 Spring Break Day 1

-
COVID-19 #CoronaBreakDay1 As of yesterday, I am on a 3-week Spring Break mandated by the Ohio governor, Mike DeWine.  I brought home half of my 3 classes’ portfolios to work on, my computer to write lesson plans, and my 2 class pets:  one hedgehog and a rabbit.  I am in a great position because as a teacher, I am able to be home with my 3 children while we are all on our extended Spring Break.  My husband, however, will be working through the COVID-19 outbreak as he is a police officer.   I am also NOT in a great position as I have asthma, an underlying condition that professionals have advised to avoid contact with people during this pandemic.  As we all watch social media and new outlets for updates on how many cases there are and how many people are going to be tested, we are all trying to make sense of the unprecedented closures that continue to go on around us.  We’ve been at stores where shelves are bare, and people are wearin...

Scare Tactics: Kindergarten Orientation

-
As I close out another year of preschool and pre-kindergarten classes it is with great disappointment that I hear parents and families discussing the “dreaded kindergarten orientation” meetings they have or will have to attend.   It seems that with an increased focus on the common core curriculum, standardized testing and rigid academic expectations, teachers and administrators have created a meeting around fear and panic.   They outline the daunting year ahead for the five-year-olds and explain how “kindergarten has changed”.   How is this a positive way to begin a new adventure in education?   By explaining the high demands and expectations of FIVE YEAR OLDS, kindergartens in my area are scaring grown ups!   As far as I know there is still only one requirement to go to kindergarten… a child must be 5 years old.   That is it!   Meanwhile, kindergarten orientations are creating their own demands…        100 sight words by Dece...
