Kids have lots of fun indoor activities nowadays. Three parents and educators are here to share how they encourage children to spend more time outside and connect with nature.
Susie experienced educator | To get kids off screen, I advise parents disconnect too. My students have come to enjoy looking out for birds. They also find joy in using binoculars (双筒望远镜) for birdwatching. One of my students is now known as the local 12-year-old birdwatcher in the community. He's now a better birdwatcher than I am! |
outdoor club volunteer | During a fishing trip with 30 kids aged 10 to 16, I had to get creative to keep them active. So, I came up with an idea: whoever catches a fish gets a gift. Although no one caught a fish, the kids loved it. Next month, we're going to have a boat racing on a nearby river. The key is to create an interesting space and give kids a reason to join in. |
Linda English teacher | When teaching English as a second language, I planned an outdoor math lesson: how to find the size of a garden bed (园圃). But my students didn't want to do it because of the insects (昆虫) and the hot weather, I then suggested growing something they could eat to make them more interested in the garden. This experience changed my mindset (观念) from "I'm taking them outside" to "We're going outside together". |
Many libraries charge a late fee(费用). If you return a book after a certain date, you pay a fine. But this might be changing. For public libraries, anyway. Some say these fees stop some people from using the library. And the point of libraries is to make books available. So we asked our readers what they think about late fees. Keep them? Or stop them? Here's what two kids bad to say.
☑ Do you use the library?
☑ Have you had to pay for returning a book late?
Fiona Sheehy, 9, NY | Libraries should charge late fees. Do you enjoy the library? You can discover new books there. But you might not get a chance if kids don't return them. Paying a fee will teach kids to be responsible. This will help when they get older and have a job. Some borrowers return books late. The money can be used to make the library a better place. So late fees are a must. |
Aiden Robinson, 10, CA | Libraries should not charge late fees. Some people just need time to finish the book. Late fees at some libraries have reached $50 for a couple of books. Many kids can't afford that, And a late fee doesn't make people more responsible. What works is sending reminders. Or libraries can provide more overnight service for book return. I learned from the news that this helped in Brooklyn, New York. |
