BICYCLE HELMET SIZING CHART
Measuring the head is a starting point for the entire sizing procedure. Due to varying shapes, heads that are apparently the same size when measured by a tape may not necessarily fit the same size helmet. A small metal tape measure, or a cloth tape may be used to make your initial measurement. The circumference of the head should be measured at a point approximately one inch above the eyebrows in front, and at a point in the back of the head that results in the largest possible measurement. Take several measurements, to make sure you have the largest one. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A ROUGH GUIDE AND NOT EXACT. THE SHAPE OF YOUR HEAD IS AS IMPORTANT AS THE MEASUREMENT WHICH MAY AFFECT FINAL FIT!

Take advantage of local festivals & opportunities to bring history to life!
Generally considered the period from 1400 to 1600 in Europe, the Renaissance began a period of invention and innovation that continues today, according to historians such as
those at the Allentown Museum of Art (see References below). Many items we use
in modern life have origins in this period. Renaissance advances in art, literature, science and everyday life provide interesting and entertaining activity ideas for kids... of all ages & abilities!

Mindfulness- being present or just full of yourself?
By Cassie Dixon, Kidding Around Yoga co-founder
“Anytime that you are feeling stiff and scared, and worried.
I want you to take a few deep breaths and change into a piece of cooked spaghetti.”
What’s the first way to start using mindfulness with children? “Stress is physiologically incompatible with deep breathing”, Swami Vidyananda on Stress Management. The most common practice of mindfulness with children- ring a bell and allow children to put their hand on their stomach feeling themselves breath in and out. This can be a focusing way to start the day or a relaxing way to prepare for bed. Teachers can even use this activity to give children a brief break during a long study period, or prepare for instruction after lunch or recess.
