Resolving Educational Transition Issues for Kids

September 21, 2011 By Leave a Comment

There has been a great effort to push states to accept the “Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children”. The Compact aims to alleviate some of the challenges military families and their children face when they are ordered to relocate and for schools to consider challenges of military life of and in itself.

So far 39 states have joined this compact, which at this point covers 89% of all military students. Find out if your state is a part of this Compact and here you find out what your state might offer due to this special agreement. [Read more...]

Gimme Some Sugar

September 16, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Nope, not “sugar honey” , “sugar baby” or “sugar momma” nor am I talking about some ‘plain’ sugar kisses  …I am talking about the ingredient in our food that has the ability to make us gain weight, screw with our hormone system or make our teeth fall out ( and plenty of other effects of sugar in our system). While this might be off subject of ‘moving’ – this is a good to know! [Read more...]

What are we doing this weekend?

August 27, 2011 By Leave a Comment

“Dad is working this weekend, what are we doing?” Not sure how it is with your family, but in ours the weekends at times were a challenge with kids when hubby was working or deployed. Since one can never have enough inspiration, read throught these tips and see if some of them strike you as fun and do-able. Feel free to add to the list!

  • Don’t be afraid: Geocaching -  a modern day treasure hunt. Download a free GPS on your smart phone, plug in coordinates from this website and go ‘hunting’ . You can take
  • Learn to use the map or create your own. We recently did this and it was great. The kids drew a simplified map and then were able to follow it throughout the park.
  • Let your child be the cook! Shopping, prepping, cooking. Parents help where you are needed but it really should be your child’s responsibility to tell you what you have to do.
  • Visit the local dump: This might be an odd suggestion, but it puts ‘waste’ and ‘trash’ and the amount we create in a new, visual way. [Read more...]

IEP Time – Prepping for Transition

August 23, 2011 By Leave a Comment

IEP stands for Individual Education Plan and is for kids with special needs to ensure compliance with IDEA ( Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) and also to road map the education of the child with special needs. An IEP helps educators recognize issues, create goals, and offer solutions for your child.

When IEP time comes around, I usually start spinning my wheels. I feel there is so much for me to prepare. I look at my daughters recent developments and compare them to last years IEP. How has she done reaching the goals? Which goals can be aimed higher? Where do I know she has educational needs that need to be met? I take notes so that I know what I would like to see in the new IEP. When I am preparing for a PCS IEP then I have the teachers increase services and requirements, in hopes that in the new location Anna would receive more but at least what she needs in additional services. If you google  ”IEP goals” you will find IEP goal banks that are free AND extensive. They will give you an idea on how to formulate a goal that you would like to see added in your childs IEP. Did you know that you can call for a IEP review at any time? If you think that changes need to be made, then you can ask for a new meeting. The IEP will not necessarily completely rewritten, but addenda can be added if you feel it’s important.

To be frank, it never really mattered as the new districts ALWAYS wanted to assess Anna again. This always meant months of testing and preparing.

My rule of thumb is that any change in location, educator, school costs Anna one year, where she makes little progress. Yes, we have lost quite a few years. It is what it is, complaining won’t change anything.

Once you are prepared, go to the meeting! I usually bring a snack or something special to eat to the meetings for the team members. We’ve had the meetings during other teachers lunch time or before regular school hours. They might not have a chance to eat, and people are grumpy if they are hungry. In addition to that, I always felt that this would at least get me started on a less hostile ground.

Bring someone with you if possible. I have had several meetings where I felt more being a part of a tribunal and at an education team meetings. If your husband can’t come along, get with STOMP, one of their counselors will  come along, see if you find a friend or a fellow special needs parent to come along.

If you’ve had ‘issues’ with your team before you might consider bringing these papers. (BTW, did you know you are authorized and exact copy of ALL of your childs’ school documents in his or her file –  ask for it, look at it!)

  • Past IEPs
  • Phone log
  • Assessments and evaluations
  • Discipline reports
  • Report cards/progress reports
  • Correspondence to and from the school
  • Immunization and pertinent health records
  • Contact information for service providers and other agencies

Ask for regular communication with your child’s teachers and service providers. For us the school planner worked perfectly. In other schools it was like pulling teeth to get any info out of the teachers.

Maxwells unique homeschool support

July 29, 2011 By Leave a Comment

I was very surprised to find an article describing an installation actively supporting homeschooling. It is a great opportunity as well as an alternative to ‘regular’ school, when kids are being torn out of their communities, their curricula’s  and their schedule. Change is not avoidable but it can be reduced.

There is good news in Alabama:

A unique cooperation has formed between parent initiated MAHE (Maxwell Area Home Educators) and Maxwell AFB.

Homeschooling is gaining popularity across the country, especially at military bases. “The military just have some unique circumstances in particular that make homeschooling an ideal option in certain situations,” said Debby Ramsey, director of the Maxwell Area Home Educators, an association of homeschooling parents.

Base youth centers offer art classes, science and math programs, and sports. Many installations offer music lessons and martial arts classes on base as well.
Debby Ramsey said the Montgomery area is accommodating these students.
“Because homeschooling has become so mainstream, and Montgomery institutions in particular have a good history of cooperative efforts with both (Maxwell) and MAHE, most anywhere you go you will find eager reception and accommodation for homeschooling needs,” she said.

Particularly, if you are stationed at Maxwell only for a short time, it seems the perfect opportunity to ‘try’ homeschooling. Read also “Take your school to your next installation“, “Homeschool and Schoolwork resources“, “School options“. Resource: Homeschoolfacts.com

Military Teen Visiting A German School

July 2, 2011 By Leave a Comment

german school

Some of you know: I am German – hence some oddly shaped sentences at times. In order to infuse my boys, 12 and 16, with [even] more German heritage, we sent them to Germany this summer. Now, I will admit , we are missing them and not only, because we now have no one to baby sit our daughter.

Today my oldest left a note in his Facebook page about his day in a German school. Read his interesting AND funny report on his impressions:

“Boy, have I a lot to say today. This morning I went with Shaaron to her school to sit through a day in the life of a German student. First of all, the school system is REALLY different. They have an “Elementary” school up until 4th grade, then they have the option of going to either “Gymnasium” or some other type of school whose name I’m hitting my head up against a wall to remember. The difference between the two is a bit like the difference between Junior High and Middle School, for those who know what I mean. Anyway, We walked from her house to the school which took a grand total of five minutes to accomplish (and I’ll admit is something I miss about Washington). Apon entering the building I realized one very unwelcomed fact: no A/C. Now bear in mind, it’s a refreshing 34 degrees celcius inside, and for those who don’t understand the metric system, that’s roughly 97 and a half degrees fahrenheit. So we are walking through the hallways and I notice that had there been bars on the windows and doors, and the floor had been gray, this could be mistaken for a prison. I think they only had one wall made out of plaster in that whole building. Anyway, we get to her classroom and its is FILLED with people, and coming to find out many weren’t even in that class. The bell finally rings and about half the people shuffle out. Then the teacher comes in and I could tell by the look on his face that he would not want to be anywhere else, which is a good thing I guess. The first lesson was geography, and it was about global warming. He gave us all a handout with some graphs on it that showed the countries that pollute the most. Who was number one? The U.S. of A. of course. Germany was, I think, 4th or fifth. The teacher asks the class “Why do you think America is at the top?”. After a few minutes of someone warbling on about how americans have so much to uphold the guy next to me says: “A bigger machine, takes more oil.” Which I think is a good way to describe the States: just a bigger machine. Anyway, after that lesson the teacher leaves and after another five minutes of futzin’ around the next teacher walks in. She was the nicest so far, I think. Problem was, this lesson was to learn…. French. So, naturally, I just sat there and listened to the funny grunting noises coming from the people around me. After the next bell rang we went to “lunch” as they call it. However, they didn’t have a cafeteria. The kids either left to eat, or stayed and sat around under trees. It was hard for me to get what they were saying, because from my perspective it sounded like they were pasting words together. I often had to make them repeat what they said if they asked me so I could answer them. One guy asked: “Are there a lot of sl*ts in America?”.

I couldn’t help but laugh.

I told him yes.

ESPECIALLY in Las Vegas*.

So after a half hour lunch ends and we go to astronomy. Yet another unbeleivably hot classroom. A girl ate up the whole class period with a ridiculously in-depth presentation on the big bang theory (not the show) and the bell rings so we all just left.

I’ll admit, I had a lot of fun though. I was really impressed by how little gossip traveled. It was all so… mellow.”

Letsplayplease.com Connects For Free

June 21, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Letsplayplease.comA couple of days ago my friend said “I would love to be the Clark Howard of military life” – I know very well what she means. I would love to be the ‘know-it-all’ and the ‘know-it-first’. Unfortunately, I have a life outside my blog even though sometimes it is very tempting to want to trade for a little while. Clark Howard, of course is a great site for the latest and greatest in consumer tips and tricks, or Consumerist.com, MSNBC and more. You know the ones. You might not know one of my faves: Springwise.com

I used to spot with them for a while and finance my new (now old) Mac with it. What did I do? I would scour the net for new websites, services and trends. THIS is my dream job! Always hungry for the next best thing and hunting it. When my suggestion for a website got accepted I received an award that I could later exchange into a gift or gift card. Unfortunately, I can’t live off gift cards and now I actually have to find a real job :-) oh, take a look at their website as I am not sure if they are still doing this.

So far my intro to my favorite website. Here are some of the ideas that I love and that have the absolute potential to make your life easier /better:Save 15% On Mixbook Orders $49+ (Code MX105)

As a military family physical separation is a part of our lifestyle. Even if your family is NOT split up due to an deployment, TDY or ‘geographic bachelor-dom’, there is a 99 out of a 100 chance that you are NOT living close to your hometown or your extended family. But a caring, loving community of whomever it might be comprised is a essential part of bringing kids up. A la “It takes a village….”

  • Skype(video conferencing) is one tool to stay in touch.
  • Readeo, where you can record you reading a book to a child is great.
  • Among the recordable items such as postcards…Talkatoo, offers recordable charms and Build a Bear offers recordable stuffed animal messages

    • ORBITZ 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY SALE!!! (125x125)

I am sure there is more and feel free to tell everyone about it in the comment section. A new kids on the block is Letsplayplease.com. Letsplayplease.com is an interactive program. Simply, sign up, log in and invite other family members to play games. The games available are currently very limited and are geared toward younger children – I would say under 6 or 7 years.  This website still has a way to go, but it’s free and should simply because of that into your ‘stay in touch with someone far away’ toolbox. The owner told me that she is from South America and had a tough time connecting her kids with her relatives on this foreign continent. That totally works for me. It’s a cute concept.
