Summer Brain Drain

According to FamilyEducation.com, kids lose 1-3 months worth of their education during the summer. Most of what they lose is in mathematics. The Internet is a great resource to keep kids sharp so they are ready to move to the next grade level when they return to school in the fall. Need a little help finding constructive things to do? During the month of May, I will be blogging about things to do on the computer during the summer to help your students keep the education they have gained. The kids love to work on the computers. Computers are great at masking education as something that is just for fun. The activities I will blog about are things I have done with my kids--tried and tested and proven fun, interesting, and educational. On those days when it's too hot to go outside, spend an hour or two on the computer. Use this site as a resource, and use your search engine as well. There are many home schooling sites and educational sites that have lesson plans and activities to stretch and challenge the mind.

Use your resources and keep sharp!
