Spending time

during break
Left: Gingerbread was the theme at Latham the last
week before Winter Break. The kindergarteners in
Mrs. McMichael’s room listen carefully to the clues
as the class decides where they need to look for the
missing Gingerbread Man.
Evan Bunce and Ethan Martini begin the process of
building their Gingerbread Houses during Latham’s
Annual Gingerbread House event.

Time is at a premium for today’s fam-
ilies. The challenge often lies in fi nding
ways to spend quality time together as a
family. Although that can sometimes feel
impossible, families can fi nd time with
one another.
1. Adust wake-up time. Have the fam-
ily get up with the earliest riser. Then
everyone can enjoy breakfast together
and touch base about their day to come.
Many activities that keep families busy
occur after school, so this ensures at least
one family meal together every day.
2. Take off for school holidays. Work-
ing parents can adust their schedules
to include a few vacation days used on
school holidays. This way everyone ben-
efi ts from sleeping in and spending time
together.
3. Schedule a family day off. Preplan
for a weekday when the entire family
stays home from work or school. Muse-
ums, indoor play areas, movie theaters,
and other attractions are less busy during
the week than during the weekend. This
allows families to have more fun togeth-
er.
4. Turn chores into family projects.
Work around the house will get done
much more quickly if everyone pitches
in.
5. Host a family reunion. Extended
families may only have the opportunity
to see each other a few times a year. An-
nual family reunions help strengthen the
bond adults and children have with their
extended families and provide a fun rea-
son to get together.
6. Schedule a weekly family night.
Families can make sure that at least one
night each week the schedule is free so
that they can spend time together playing
a game, watching a movie or doing an-
other family-friendly activity.
