Put your kids to work, drawing pictures by which they can earn royalties. \n"Art U Start" especially needs children's drawings of desert creatures.

Well get 2 pieces of Cardboard paper,the lined paper to help them write, on the top write- " 2nd grade reading log" and then if you want to spice things up to close it- make sure you put it the way of like a notebook and then hole punch it and then take string and pipe cleaners and then close it.(If you know what I mean) and keep doing that for everyone. Then at school tell them to decorate the front page as pretty as they want it!!- Hope that helped!

you need a story idea, and characters and then for kids you need to have some kind of moral (not heavy) in there.\n\nhow about a story about a panda who has lost his shoes?\n\nWriting classes can teach you the technicalities of structure, pace and so on, but the real main part - the heart - needs to come from your heart. They can't teach you that.

You can never go wrong with an age appropriate book. Start teacher to read.

Don't ask us! Just put a writing utensil (or not . . . ) to the page and get working!\n\nIf you ask us, it won't be a creation of yours, and you'll have missed the point of the activity.

I am not sure what age group you are dealing with. I guess it does not matter, the skill building does. However if your child is in an upper grade and you find skill building things that are a few grade behind, you will need to explain to her what you are trying to achieve, or get creative in hiding it. You may want to look at some of the sites, see what they are trying to accomplish and adjust the content and  the vocabulary. Remember writing is a process, you will need to get the child used to the idea the writing becomes good when you revise it for clarity and accuracy. One thing i did notice with my daughter was  the idea of getting it all together in one step was enough to freeze her in place. The idea, the spelling, the punctuation, grammar, and making it all flow and sound right can be a lot to think about. Do it in steps. Providing a list of correctly spelled  words to refer to can make this easier at first.\nAlso try reading a little and have her write a sentence or two to complete the story, change the ending, and so forth. \nBelow are some links that may help.

Read! Read! Read!\n\nNovels, Short stories, Kids books.\n\nRetell some stories in your own words.\n\nImprovise on the stories you have read.\n\nThis is the start.

you can pick and choose from this site, I won't bother explaining it, since we all know it, but this site is aimed at kids:\n\nhttp://www.sciencemadesimple.com/static.html\n\nYou might even just want to do the first parts and the last parts, but it depends on the age of the kids and stuff like that.

since most elementary schools are k-5 you may need several book clubs..because what is appropriate for 5 is not neccessarily appropriate for k!\n\ngive the books to the kids an adequate time in advance (older kids with chapter books may need two weeks while little kids with picture books may need just one night)\n\nwith the little ones..have the story read. discuss it. sing a song that is related..then do a related craft or project. \n\n\nfor older kids...i would break the book club into chapters...say a book has 19 chapters..then meet once every three days after "x" number of chapters have been read to discuss it. and then a final meet to discuss the entire book! maybe even have them "act out" their favorite scenes. \n\nif you look online you can get bookclub questions ...if you are doing this book club after school have snacks for the kids too..and keep it fun and light..the idea is to foster a love for books!\n\nolder kids will love: harry potter, a wrinkle in time, etc.talk to the school librarian for other suggestions!

For preschoolers, I would have a lot of action and songs.  Examples would include showing them and having them practice Stop Drop and Roll.  Feel free to email me for a cute short song that you could teach them.  Another idea is to have plastic items (from a toy bag purchased at the Dollar Store or Big Lots).  Have them name the different items...firefighter, fire truck, ambulance, etc.  End with a short story...I have various titles in my fire box and would be happy to share with you the titles...Clifford is just one off hand and it comes with a tape.  Another activity you could do for them is to go to the local fire dept and see if they would allow you to record various sounds...sirens, 911 operator, the person who announces a fire, water, maybe a firedog barking etc... or take your video camera or even camera to take photos.  Perhaps you could even arrange for them to visit your school or you go to them.  Also, ask them if they have any coloring books.  One last thought, try various websites for coloring pages and lesson plans (educational sites).  Have fun!!!!!

How about a comb binding?\nLike a book the pages are held from top all the way to the botom and they stay open, you can buy a machine to cut the holes in the paper and insert the comb I know the combs can be brought from partners but our machine is about 100 years old and I have never looked for one, you should also be able to go to a printers and get them made up, you could do the one as a sample

Perhaps the largest task will be rotating the items, since they're very much "impulse shoppers" when it comes to book selection.\n\nIf you want to keep books in an order (Dewey is a helpful standard), make sure to label the books clearly on the spine or on the front cover so that parents can easily assist in reshelving.
