Help my kids start school soon what is a good schedule for them
Answer
My four and six year old children go to school (we are in the UK if it matters).
7: I wake up, have a quick shower, get dressed and eat breakfast. Essentially- GET READY BEFORE YOU GET YOUR KIDS UP.
7;30- Wake the children up, with clothes laid out on bed already, take them downstairs, where cereal (chosen the day before to avoid arguments) and milk/whatever is laid out. Be organised!
7;45- Get them dressed. This can be a daily battle! Every evening before a school day, make sure their schoolbags are packed- if they have uniform, then lay it all out, if they don't then get them to choose clothes and lay it out. Essentially, be organised, so you don't have to organise with such limited time. My advice for dressing is to use a timer- tell them that they've got ten minutes to get dressed and you'll tell them every minute. If they have trouble with buttons, or something, make sure to help. Tell them that if they get dressed before the timer is up, they get a small treat (a bit of cereal bar, or a sticker set thing which is quite cheap). I recommend using star charts because getting dressed can be a nightmare for kids....If they get dressed before the timer for the whole week, they get a special treat at the end of the week. Use positive discipline.
7;55- They are dressed and have eaten breakfast (always eat breakfast before getting dressed, it's so much cleaner). They brush their teeth for two minutes, but usually with general stuff it ends up as five minutes. Watch them do it and tak this time to comb your hair or whatever (asyou will have brushed your teeth before the kids woke up). Watching them means they'll do it quicker and properly!
8- Bundle them out of the house. Any books and bags and sport kit should have been packed the day before in the evening, so it's relatively easy.
8;20- We arrive at school, having gone on the bus and walked.
8:25- School starts. I say goodbye, having had a natter with the other parents there in the playground, and go to work.
3:30- They come out. The first thing I do is check they have everything- sport kit, school bag, packed lunch, letters, books, homework.
3;50 or so, arrive home. Kids are always hungry after school, so I give them cereal and a biscuit, and either milk or juice, depending on choice, and sometimes water. Let them relax and unwind by watching a small bit of TV or playing a small game.
4;10, after snack and relaxing, ask them about any homework they have. Write it down so you and they can remember it, and pin the list somewhere obvious. When they have finished the homework, you can tick it off. Write down the due date for the homework too. First of all, get them to do one piece of homework OR get them to practice their words/spellings/phonics for half an hour.
4;40, give them a break from that and read them a story. It should take about ten minutes, get your kids to point out stuff from the book and actively ask them questions to make sure they understand.
4;50, start another piece of homework if they have it OR finish/do another part of previous homework. If it is a longer piece of homework, I try and break it up into 30 minutes practice. If they don't have homework work- instead they have to do certain spelling words, use a game to check their words. If, for example, they did cat, bat, sat and mat, then you tell them the word and help them spell it, then get them to draw a picture to go with it.
5;20 I get them up to the shower for ten minutes or so each.
5;40- Check homework off the list. If all homework is completed, put a sticker on the sticker chart if you have one, if you don't, then praise them (I would recommend using a sticker chart though). Get them to choose a game to do, and play with them for a bit.
6- Watch TV together for half an hour.
6;30- eat supper all together. They help lay out the table and take the plates etc; in and get praised for doing so, try and encourage responsibility early on.
6;50- I put the washing on for anything to be used the day after next day. Find out what they need for tomorrow and lay out clothes and shoes. Get them to choose the cereal and packed lunch if they have it for tomorrow.
7; Play an online game with one of them for half an hour. My partner does something with the other one. It usually swaps around, it just depends what they want to, it's quite relaxed. It could be anything. Sometimes we just watch TV.
7;30- send them up to bed. They brush their teeth for two minutes with myself and my partner checking.
7:45- They get into their pyjamas. If they have a messy room, they get five minutes to tidy everything off the floor then and there.
7:55 (five minutes accounts for getting into their pyjamas from before)- Read a bedtime story to both of them. The four year old first, and then the six year old, for ten minutes each.
8:15 Lights out.

What is your favorite sandwich?
Sara R
1)Why is it your favorite?
2)What does your sandwich contain?
3)How often do you eat it?
A sandwich that I have recently invented and tried with my sister is the avacado sandwich. We use wheat bread and add mustard, ham, avacados, onions, chicken, tomatoes, salt and pepper. It is soooooooo good. We have it like once every week or so, but it is so good that we had it 3 days in a row!
Answer
Peanut butter and Jelly rocks!
It is such a good combination and it's so sweet.
I eat it at least once every two weeks.
The peanut butter and jelly sandwich, also known as a peanut butter and jam sandwich in the UK and Canada, is a sandwich that includes a layer of peanut butter and either jelly or jam on bread, commonly between two slices. Jars of pre-mixed peanut butter and jelly are commercially available for making these sandwiches.[1] It appears to have been invented by GIs during World War II.[2] The sandwich has the advantage that it does not contain any perishable ingredients, so it does not require refrigeration in hot weather, making it suitable for lunch bags. The peanut butter and jelly sandwich is very popular with both adults and children in the US and Canada. A 2002 survey showed the average American will have eaten 1,500 of the sandwiches before graduating from high school
