Tired of the Internet Yet?
Just kidding!
Although the internet is a powerful resource for both kids and adults alike, you really do need to take a break once in a while.
This is the weekend. A great time for all children to connect with family! This is the prime time to talk about the past week and get feedback from your siblings or parents.
If you can't get them to talk about anything, start a family newsletter online, and tell everyone you need their participation to add information. Then you can also view it as well as send it to family and friends around the states (the world?).
Check with your parents about listing personal schedules and times, in case thieves are also reading.
A written out version like a family journal can also be helpful to communicate with one another during the week. Work at it, make it like a scrapbook together, cut out magazine photos (as long as you use the right ones), and color. You will love this family project!
A weekend scavenger hunt inside the house might also be fun. One can be the organizer and hide the items, and the rest scout for hidden treasures.
If your family likes table tennis or pool, you can buy equipment for that also.
Have you tried keeping observational notes from your back yard or porch? Watch or feed birds. Watch squirrels. Write about their behavior and become an expert in your science class.
I loved the outdoors as a child. Snap photos and add it to your journals or newsletters, and scrapbooks.
Any activity that keeps you working together and talking is a nice break away from the internet.
So, enjoy the weekend, play, sit down and talk, or have a Movie Night! Your dad can get the popcorn, unless your mom wants to, and play some favorites. Order a pizza or whatever your family prefers.
Have an exciting weekend!

After School Zone
After classes are done for the day, do you want an alternative place to go on the internet that doesn't only involve solitary games or music, or chat? Are you bored and haven't a clue as to what you should do next?
I used to be a latch - key kid back in the day. Most of my classmates went out and played, but I had to stay home and make my own fun. I learned a lot during that time period. Reading and television - watching, too, can be stimulating, but sometimes there are other things on the web to which you can pay your mind.
So, I created this place for you and others like you who want a "zone," or place that is fun and educational at the same time. If you need homework help, there might be something on here for you also.
So stay tuned, as I put on different items on here for you and your friends.
So, keep reading here every day, as I may post daily or even when I can.
Have a great time here!
~Ms. A!
A little about me:
I work in the field of education, have tutored kids and adults, and love to think of fun ways for kids, parents, and the community to learn.
I love to read, write, and go browsing, walking, and enjoying beautiful sites in Chicago and elsewhere.
More power to home-bound kids everwhere!!!
REMEMBER: This blog is going to be chock-full of activities that are fun for
both you and your family members. You should never
try activities without telling parents or other adults. That's what
communication is about! For example, don't go outside with-
out a parent or guardian, especially if you are a minor. (This is
true in school also, with permission slips and the like.)
For some activities, you may need your parents' permission to
participate. Wait until you talk to them or have them participate
as well.
Parents' Corner:
This area will be parents who stop by on this site.
The following information is for those of you who may
be thinking of after school programs for your child.
