Free Download for This Month

2008-10-26T20:01:00.000-07:00

This month's free download available on the main page of the site is a really handy resource for families as we approach the end of the year. It contains reminders about all those necessary jobs like cleaning out your pantry, getting your family's medical and dental needs out of the way and examining your budget for the new year.

They are the sorts of things we think of as the Xmas period approaches but then, for many of us, it's February all of a sudden and we realise that we didn't get them done!

Well, this year, let's start early by printing out this document and ticking it off as you go!

Anzac Day

2008-04-23T02:56:00.000-07:00

Anzac Day continues to be a key event in the Australian calendar because of its historical significance. Indeed it seems that each year celebrations become bigger and bigger. Even more interesting is the fact that young people in greater numbers each year are joining the marches and celebrations just as the real heroes with any immediate links to this event pass out of our lives.

Australian school aged children seem to be able to appreciate the relevance of this historical event and to enjoy discussions and activities that enable them to explore the event more thoroughly. They listen with respectful silence and watch with wide eyes as the stories are shared and as their teachers and other adults talk to them about how the day seems to embody everything it is to be Australian.

We have a great FREE CyberMentor activity available on our site NOW if you want to grab it. This activity utilises a range of computer applications to get the digital natives of today enthused and learning!

Exciting Future Plans

2008-04-21T20:15:00.000-07:00

We have ambitious plans for resources to add to the collection already available through the Parents Can Teach 2 website. We will be creating a grandparent's section full of great ideas for grandparents to use to make the days they spend with their precious little ones even more exciting. In these pressure filled times when parents are calling upon their own parents to assist with childcare more and more, we expect this section will be immediately popular!

We will also be collating recipe ideas for time pressed families to access easily and quickly. This will include recipes for popular playthings like playdough and slime in addition to the yummy healthy foods we know the kids will love.

Tell us what you think!!!
