HAPPY SUMMER!

Dear JES family and friends,

 Summer has arrived and Texas and I are off for summer break. Tex is spending a lot of time in the pool and under the trees relaxing. We are enjoying the rain!

 Summer is a great time for children to read simply for pleasure. Newly emerging readers tend to regress in the summer, so keep up the reading activities. Fun reading for parents, if you haven’t already started following, is the blog “We are THAT Family…you know the ones”. I highly recommend it. A great introduction would be reading the June 15th, 2014 entry. The title of the entry is Dear Children: Let Me Explain This Thing Called Summer. With a little humor, the blog addresses the so called boredom of summer days.  The blogger (Kristen) has some good thoughts about summer – “ the days that aren’t fun usually end up being the best ones of summer.” You can find it at wearethatfamily.com.

 I will be back from summer break on August 11th.  I will be checking email regularly, if you have a concern don’t hesitate to write.

Enjoy the break and Tex and I will see you in August!
Kindest regards,
 
Ziba Johnston
JES Counselor
