Starting over in a new town can be hard enough. But what can you do when you have to start a dozen new towns in your life.Well thats what happens to a normal military kid. You never know when your going to have to up and move and with that move comes new friends and new schools . I have few ways to make the transition to a new town and a new school a little easier and maybe a little bit of an adventure!
Idea #1-Be PenPals with your new class!See if your parents can find out what class your going to be in at your new school. If that can be found out in advance you can become penpals with you new class and make some friends before you even get there. What you do is write them a letter about you and your life in the military. Tell them about some of the cool places you have lived, things you have done, and things you like to do. I bet you if you do this they'll write back. If you keep this up unitl you move....you'll have friends waiting for you at your new school!!! Then you won't have to worry about being a stranger!
Idea #2-Get a MapCall the department of tourism of your new hometown or city and ask them to send you a map of the area and some info on attractions and museums. Sit down with your parents and the map each night before you move and pick out and talk about a place in your new area that you want to see. Then find that place on your map and mark it. Think of all the fun plans you can make to go to parks, museums and other places with your family!
Idea #3-Get a CalendarCall the department of Tourism for your new city and ask them to send you a calendar for you new city.(many of city's have them)The calendars contain lots of beautiful pictures of your new home. Use this caledar to mark off the days until your move!
Idea #4-What do you do?I want to know what traditions your family has to help you adjust to and get excited about a move! Email me at the link below and tell me what you do!!!
