In fact, many residents are within walking distance of hip clothing stores, cutting edge restaurants and other exciting amenities.

Travis Heights is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Austin, Texas, with the first ground being broke in 1913. It is located in south Austin and juts up next to Lady Bird Lake on the north, I-35 on the east, Congress Avenue on the west and Oltorf Street on the south. Since it’s so close to the interstate, Travis Heights is a prime location for commuting or a good starting point for exploring other parts of the city. However, there are no Capital Metro bus stops in the area.

It was founded in 1913 but buildings didn’t really start coming up until the 1920s. General Stacy donated the land for the park along Blunn Creek which today bears the name “Stacy Park.” Stacy is also the name sake for “Big Stacy” a spring-fed pool and the “Little Stacy” park and swimming pool all within Travis Heights. Both were built as part of a WPA project during the 1930s.

Big Stacy Park, which is actually the smaller of the two, has a free swimming pool. There are also picnic tables and barbecue pits for outdoor meals.

Reading stories to young children is already a great way to engage them while they are learning. If you incorporate sign language when reading stories, children will learn words more quickly and understand them more easily. A great book I suggest reading to your child or students is Hello, Sun by Dayle Ann Dodds. This particular book is a great way to help teach children learn about different types of clothing and the weather. A few of the signs I suggest using while reading this story are: Sun- Make a circle with your pointer finger in the air above your head and then open your fingers to form rays shining down. Clouds- Circle your hands over one another which palms facing each other Wind aE” Sways your hands back and forth A lot of pieces of clothing and weather are mentioned throughout this book. When the story begins, a girl dresses herself for a warm, sunny day. Each page the weather changes and she has to change her clothing to be better dressed for the weather. Some of the weather descriptions that are discussed throughout the book include clouds, wind, and snow. Children will be able to learn about the different types of weather and how they should dress for each type. The repetition and rhythm in the book will keep children engaged in addition to seeing the different signs. For example, during each change of the weather, the child in the story says aEoeuh-ohaE� because she needs to change her clothing. Babies love saying this, and many times it is one of their first words when they begin to speak. Therefore, in addition to signing throughout the story, your child will also love repeating this on each page. Remember, you can find out more information about signing with your baby on my website, where I have a free video which reveals my #1 secret on how you can drastically reduce your baby’s crying and temper tantrums.
