Homeschool Resources: Educational Apps for 6 through 11 years old

The Mommies Reviews

During Christmas David won a Tablet from his job at American Airlines. David blessed me with the tablet  as part of my Christmas present. If the truth were known I wasn’t sure I would like a tablet. I didn’t even know if I would even use the tablet. I had bought myself a tablet a couple of years ago which I haven’t ever used.

The tablet David gave me, I’ve fallen in love with. I use this tablet a lot. With me homeschooling Charlie he will be able to use the tablet for his schoolwork. I found Educational Apps for ages 6 through 11 years old which Charlie will be using. I also thought you might want to check these Apps out for your children.

It’s hard to use my tablet because as soon as I look for the tablet, Charlie is on it. Or comes in and wants to take over what I’m doing on the tablet. I am thinking I will pay it forward and let Charlie have my tablet. Then I will go out and purchase one that is just mine for work.

I’m going to give Charlie my tablet and I wanted to make sure Charlie has learning applications he can do. This way Charlie isn’t  just playing games and not learning anything.

I researched on Amazon and found the following apps for Charlie and as I was adding them to our tablet I thought you might like checking the applications out as well.

Children will have a blast learning sight words and their context and usage with the adorable Endless monsters.

All of your states appear on your own personalized map of the United States. Try to collect all 50!
