Sponsored by Just Add Kids

There is a great (and delicious) way that you can show your support of the Lutheran Social Services of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan, Inc.'s Stop Child Abuse and Neglect Program at our fifth annual ice cream tasting FUNdraiser, SCAN's Cones For Kids. Funds raised at the event will help to spread support and expand SCAN's audience base so more children can benefit from the important safety messages. This unique, family friendly event will be held on Wednesday, July, 15 from 6:00pm - 8:00pm at the Racine Masonic Center, 1012 Main Street, Racine. Read more...

Bring the whole family to sample mini-cones from Racine's favorite ice cream, custard, and gelato shops. Caesar's Frozen Custard, Culver's Restaurant, Georgie Porgie's Burger and Custard Tree Fort, Divino Gelato, and Sugar Shack have all donated unique flavors of ice cream or frozen custard that guests can taste and then vote for their favorite to win the SCAN’s Golden Scoop Award.
SCAN (2)You can also experience the twisted creations of The Big Balloon Tycoon and use photo props for snapshots to take home. Kids can decorate fabric book bags with help from the Racine Art Museum and get a free copy of the Rana DiOrio's children's book "What Does it Mean to be Safe" while supplies last. Adults can browse through the many offerings in the silent auction including Disney passes, restaurant and movie gift cards, festival and sports tickets, overnight stays, and many things perfect for family fun.

AWESOME Dad

Well, most are! I know your kid's daddy might not be tops in your book, yet, in the eyes of your child, he probably is. I am so grateful that when my husband and I mutually took the risk to vow to spend our lives together, then had/have children, (while not always perfect) he ended up being quite the awesome dad. Assist your child in sharing his/her celebration of dad. (Um, I am sure you know, Father's Day is next Sunday, June 17th).  Here's a great way to do that, pocket $100 gift card for your kiddo, and knock out that Father's Day gift!  Here's how...

Why is my Child Spooning Beans?                           The Importance of a Montessori Education Sponsored by Small World Montessori At first glance, a Montessori classroom is not like that of any other.  Upon entering you may find a child spooning beans between 2 dishes, another working with a map of South America, or playing the bells by scale.  These are just a few of the unique activities in a Montessori classroom. We offer a homelike environment in which we approach education of the "whole child" through hands on, self-directed activities. How is it possible that children are working independently at their own activities?   Read More... The environment is carefully staged with progressively difficult, self-correcting materials, and most instruction is delivered one on one. Our extensive curriculum spans from 2 1/2 through 6 years old.  The mixed age classroom allows the child to work at her own pace and since instruction is individual, no child is left behind or forced...

Silly Banned

The Rubber Obsession I think my 6 year old son was the first in his class to be told he can no longer wear his silly bands or Silly Bandz (not sure if they are the real thing, or imitation, who really cares?!) to school.  That was already back on September 2nd, his second day of first grade.  That started it's own trend, the full blown ban of those rubbery. colorful, object-shaped bracelets in his classroom.  Perhaps we'll see the full school ban in the future, or has the fad run it's course? If you're a pair of dad entrepreneurs, you hope not!  They recently jumped on the Silly Bandz craze and brought to market The Original Silly Stand , designed to do what else, but keep those crazy rubber bands organized. In my house, I think we need a Silly Bandz detector. I swear, we must have a over 100, but who even knows where they are (although I dedicated a container for each of my younger silly band wearers).  The funny thing is, my kids aren't wearing them a...
