Homework can be one of, if not the, biggest after school battle. But it shouldn’t be. Help your child take responsibility for his/her own assignments. Here’s how.
These tips and the others listed in the full article, accessed via the link below, will help your child take control and successfully manage his/her homework load. A great homework tool for help and some fun, reinforcing activities is www.infoplease.com
The acceptance letters for colleges are arriving and a decision may or may not have been made on attendance. But now what? There are several things that need to be done at this point, some by the student, some by parents. Many are a joint effort.
1. Complete a FAFSA- All financial aid, including grants, student loans and even work-study opportunities stem from this form. You can select as many as 10 schools to receive and many schools like to receive this information by March 15th.
2. Apply for scholarships- This is largely a student responsibility as many ask for essays or personal statements. However, some of those based on financial need as well as academic merit may ask for parent tax forms, etc.
3. Commitment and Housing-If the student has made a decision on attendance and will be living on campus, be aware of deadlines for submitting deposits to secure registration and a room on campus.
Although senior graduation isn’t far off, much of this year is consumed with getting ready for the road ahead. With careful planning, it can be a relatively smooth trip.
If your child attends a Delaware public school or parochial elementary school, chances are that annual testing is right around the corner. DSTP and Terranova standardized tests are often administered in March of each year. For some, the thought of these types of tests can raise feelings of anxiety, apprehension and fear. Here are some suggestions for putting these concerns at bay and raising confidence and self-esteem instead.
Ask for Relaxation Tips-If your child gets anxious about testing, ask the teacher for some relaxation tips.
Assure Student is in School-Don’t plan doctor or other appointments during the test dates unless it’s an emergency. This avoids stretching out the testing over a longer period of time and disrupting your child’s post-test school routine.
Encourage Your Child to Listen- Instruct your child to listen very carefully during the administering of the test, especially to the directions given for each section.
Rest and Breakfast- Be sure your child gets sufficient rest leading up to and during the testing dates. Allow time for a healthy, not sugary breakfast in the morning. It re- fuels the brain and “breaks the fast” of not eating overnight.
Do His/Her Best-Tell your child to just do the best he/she can.
If you want to help your child accomplish this goal and relieve much of the stress and anxiety that accompanies standardized testing, call us at Back to Basics. We can prepare your child for testing by teaching and reinforcing subject matter and test-taking strategies, as well as build self-esteem and confidence. Your child will be ready and relaxed when he/she walks into the classroom with #2 pencils in hand!

Beverly Stewart, a Delaware-based educational entrepreneur and founder of Back to Basics Learning Dynamics, Inc. was recently welcomed into the Hall of Fame of Delaware Women. The Hall of Fame honor is sponsored by the Delaware Commission for Women and is the state’s foremost event honoring outstanding women.
The Hall of Fame was established to recognize the lasting contributions and achievements of Delaware women. Traditionally held during Women’s History Month in March, the Hall of Fame honors women for their distinguished contributions toward improving the lives of others. Recipients of the award have made remarkable contributions to their neighborhoods, communities, cities and state. They also have often made strides in the chosen field at a national or international level. Their contributions represent a variety of fields including government, medicine, business, education, law, advocacy, and volunteerism.
Since it was founded, 102 women have been inducted into the Hall of Fame. Former winners include such recognizable names as former governor Ruth Ann Minner, Judge Jane Brady, former Secretary of Education Valerie Woodruff, and Genevieve Gore.
“It is an incredible honor,” says Beverly Stewart, “to be placed in the company of other Hall of Fame award recipients like Roxana Cannon Arsht, Margaret Rose Henry, and Frances D. Swift Tatnall. The fact that I am being recognized for my contributions in the field of education is truly a testament to how crucial it is to improve our educational system and provide Delaware’s students with a top-notch education at all levels.”
