How to Cure Those Back-to-School Blues with Tips from GiftWorksPlus

As we head into September, kids all over the country are preparing for another school year. At GiftWorksPlus, we can’t wait for all the school excitement to begin! Back to school means attending new classes, seeing old friends, and participating in exciting school activities, all of which needs to be documented with plenty of photos. This is really our time to shine as we provide plenty of custom photo frames that are perfect for every occasion. We offer school frames with customizable names and dates, multi-photo frames to document every grade, and of course, picture frames for favorite school events, such as homecoming, prom, and graduation. While we love the back-to-school season, we know that many grade school students may not feel quite the same. So, to help them have fun while they get back into the school routine, we wanted to share a few back-to-school tips that will help prepare them for an exciting year ahead!

1. Adjust Your Sleep Schedule: One of the hardest parts of going back to school is getting up early. So, try not to sleep in too late during the last week of summer vacation. If you start transitioning back into a morning routine now, it can make the early morning wake-up call easier later.
2. Organize Your School Supplies: Start collecting binders and notebooks for each class. Color coordinating these items can also help you stay organized throughout the year. Plus, sometimes seeing all the supplies in order can help you feel a little more prepared to begin a new year in a new grade.
3. Keep Track of Summer Projects and Readings: Many school districts provide students with summer reading lists and fun projects to complete and to help students keep thinking and learning during the summer months. Of course, these activities can sometimes get overshadowed with summer sports and family vacations. But, a good way to get students ready for back to school is by focusing on these little assignments and treating them like daily homework tasks.

For parents, remember to take as many first day of school photos as possible! At GiftWorksPlus, we offer custom photo frames for every grade level! We also offer plenty of gift frames for other fall events, including sports frames, family frames, wedding frames, travel frames, and even frames for specific hobbies.
