Preparing for the new school year (StatePoint) Teachers, students and fam- ilies busy prepping for the year ahead all know that having the right supplies in and out of the classroom can help pave the way for a successful back-to-school season. With that in mind, consider these ideas to hit the ground running: • Math Class: There's no reason math needs to be your most challenging course. With the right calculator, it can be easy to view how mathematical concepts actually work. For example, the fx-CG500 brings touchscreen technology to the graphing calculator. Its extra-large screen allows for more complete and detailed viewing, and its drag-and-drop functionality enables stu- dents to quickly and intuitively pull informa- tion from one representation into another. Incorporating standard Natural Textbook Display, along with drop-down menus and a soft keyboard, it's easy to use, so you can concentrate on what matters — absorbing the material. • New Kicks: Kids are active and grow- ing quickly, which means their shoes are getting worn out and outgrown regularly. The new school year is a good time of year to take inventory of a child's shoe collec- tion and to replace sneakers and fashion footwear that no longer fit or aren't in tip- top shape. This can help students return to school comfortably and ready for anything, from the hallways to the playing fields. • Swift Set-Up: Time is of the essence during the school day and educators know how important swift set-up is. Tools that can help teachers transition between class- es or components of a lesson plan are crit- ical. Technology, such as the Superior Se- ries from Casio's LampFree Projector line- up, can help. Using the Moderator Function, teachers can select a presenter from any- where in a classroom and project their PC onto the screen. Data, classwork and pre- sentations from students' devices can be shared via a wireless connection with ease. These features are designed to reduce set- up time in the classroom and keep students focused on the curriculum. • Ground Control: Parents can keep ev- eryone organized by creating a central lo- cation where plans are recorded, notes are written, to-do lists are made and paperwork is organized. Whether it's in the mud room or kitchen, be sure to select a highly-traf- ficked location accessible to family mem- bers of all heights to reference and update. A wall calendar, paper organizer and chalk- board are just a few of the items to consider including in this space. • Get Creative: Learning to play an in- strument is a great idea for any student, as it can jump-start creativity, help students learn to focus and problem solve, and has even been associated with higher test scores. Check out instruments designed to assist in the learning process, such as the portable Casio LK-265 Keyboard, which has the potential to open up a whole world of music with its 400 tones and 150 built-in rhythms, including the all-new Dance Music Mode. Touch-sensitive keys feature a light- ing system to make learning fun, offering a great introduction to music-making. Great reading ideas to inspire young students (StatePoint) A new school year means new classes, new teachers and new schedules. At home, you can riff on this theme with new books to be enjoyed outside the classroom, that spark interest in different subjects. To open doors for young minds, consider the fol- lowing titles: • Crafty coding: For kids with a potential interest in computers and coding, consider "How to Be a Cod- er." Breaking down the principles of coding into bite-sized chunks, it will get them thinking like comput- er scientists in no time. Learn about loops by making a friendship brace- let, find out about programming by planning a scavenger hunt, and dis- cover how functions work with pa- per fortune tellers. Children can then use their new knowledge to code by following instructions to build programs in Scratch 3.0. • Inspiring true stories: In "DK Life Stories: Jane Goodall" kids can discover the inspiring sto- ry of Jane Goodall, a pioneer of pri- matology whose groundbreaking work changed the way we under- stand animals and ourselves. When she embarked on her career, wom- en were discouraged from conduct- ing scientific research, especially when that work meant living side by side with wild animals. A self- taught scientist, Goodall bravely ventured into the bush of Tanzania to discover the secret world of chim- panzees. This new biography series for kids from DK goes beyond basic facts to tell true-life stories of histo- ry's most interesting people. • Edible science: Cooking is chemistry, and all 20 science ex- periments inside "Science You Can Eat," are edible and fun. Young minds can find out why popcorn go "pop," explore how taste is affect- ed by smell, then discover the se- cret to making the perfect cook- ie. Examining interesting ingre- dients and exciting eating, as well as peeking into the future of food, kids will get a better understand- ing of what's happening with food and why. • A global celebration: Young readers of "Celebrations Around the World" will embark on an excit- ing journey through the most inter- esting and important festivals, cel- ebrations and holidays enjoyed by people all over the globe. From why skeletons dance at the Day of the Dead in Mexico to how the world's biggest tomato fight — La Toma- tina in Spain — gets cleaned up, stunning original illustrations and fascinating facts will inspire and in- form children about cultures and religions from all over the world. • Medieval mania: Spark an in- terest in history and architecture with "DK findout! Castles," which includes lots to learn about medi- eval castles, including knights, jousting, sieges, drawbridges and forts. Kids can learn about castle design, from the earliest motte and bailey styles to stone fortresses and beautiful castles in Japan and India, as well as view some of the most impressive castles in the world. Packed with information and col- or, this book is part of a series intro- ducing children to a range of topics in a fun, engaging way. A fter school is the perfect time to explore topics of interest, and a treasure trove of books can make learning new things fun. Tractor Show begins Friday Bud and Owen Meyer's Tractor Show will be this weekend starting on Friday, July 19 and running through Sunday.
