Hello, and welcome to "The Punch."
Now . . . what the heck is "a punch" anyway?
Well, by strict definition here are a few:
Punch 1/pun ch/
v: a powerful strike with a fist
Punch 2/pun ch/
n: A tool or machine for impressing a design or stamping a die on a material
v: To depress(a key or a button for example) in order to activate a device or perform an operation: Charlie will punch in the information.
Punch 3/pun ch/
Informal:v To enliven, as with fresh ideas or additional material: You'd better punch up that speech with a few jokes.
Informal:n The tag or "butt" of a joke.
Then, besides the more formal definitions above, a punch is also known informally as effectiveness in content and vigor. We use it to express a strong need to move forward as in, "You're driving so slow, we're gonna be late . . . PUNCH IT"! We use it to express zest as in, "That poster could use some color, let's punch it up a bit."
So with that said, The Pre-K Punch is here to:
*GROW HUNGRY READERS
*PRODUCE CRITICAL THINKERS AND AVID LEARNERS
*EMPOWER THE "PARENT TEACHER"
*PROVIDE ZEST TO YOUR EVERYDAY PARENTING AND HAVE SOME FUN!
Written by a preschool teacher, mother of three, former home schooler, beach lover and football fan, The Punch will give your child a punch in academics in preparation for, or in addition to, Kindergarten.
Harvard here we come!
