Are you worried about how the kids are going to keep from losing knowledge over the summer? Writing about their day is a great way to keep their brains limber.
I was recently adding activities in the calendar for my grandson when I realized that we have only 5 WEEKS of summer vacation left!

Let’s start with some writing practice.
If summer days are consistently lazy – a significant amount of hard earned school-year learning, will start to leak out.
So how do we make the most of summer? How do we plug the drain and make gains, especially for our right brain creative kids? The key is to make learning hands on, make it visual, add lots of art and time to create and above all – make it FUN.
Do you need some ideas on how to inject fun and variety into summer learning?
