Math/Art/Science As the 100th day of school approaches, help your child begin a collection of some kind – stamps, postcards, baseball cards, etc. – that will have lasting value. Research the items online and count, study and organize the items in the collection together. Take pictures of the initial collection for your child to reflect upon as his or her hobby grows.
