How are you this fantastic Beautiful Sunday morning? Charlie and I are going on a Picnic this week, and I am so excited about it. As he is 8 and it is our first one. I know isn’t that crazy? The beautiful part about the picnic was Charlie’s ideal. I feel like that with Homeschool which we begin our school. I am so overwhelmed which is OK as we will be going to school during the Summer. Which might not be perfect for most parents but it is for us. My question for you is, do you and your children do Summer Learning or not?
Many parents and educators worry about losing the learning momentum during summertime, whether it’s due to a less structured schedule, But this challenge can be an opportunity with the right tools.
Just in time for summer prep, Educents is hosting a site-wide sale with free shipping. I’ve found that when kiddos get a little stir crazy, hands-on tools come in handy.
Read on for my favorite picks for stocking up for summer!
