Summer time is right around the corner and the school year is coming to a close. Many of us are planning summer trips as our thoughts are starting to turn to fun in the sun. Kids are excited about playing with friends away from the confines of school. They are ready to clear their minds and step away from the pressure of school. However, summertime does not mean that kids do not need learning experiences. Throughout the summer there are things kids can do to keep their minds active. They can read a little bit every day. Writing about their day is another way. There are also other things such as letting them play educational games and allowing them to create different things from various materials. If it’s fun for them they won’t have a problem with any of it.
