Summer Vacation Has Begun

Most schools finished up last week.Summer is here and retirement started at 4 p.m. last Friday.The last six weeks have been a mad rush. Now that the rush is over, I can get back to blogging a little more frequently.

We keep hearing that when summer comes our children loose out academically. None of us want that to happen. We also do not need 12 month schools in order to continue summer learning. Let's give the kids a nudge in the right direction. Don't let them spend all of their time in front of the video game or TV set.
My wife and I are babysitting our grandsons this summer. We have decided that their schedule will include an hour of reading daily, outdoor play when it is not raining and computer time with educational games. They are already using Audacity to make up and record their own stories.

Simon Hensby has written over 200 software titles. A lifetime membership allows access to software for your child to practice addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, keyboarding and many more. For less than $20, you can have download privileges for these and any new programs in the future.

Let's have fun this summer while our children continue to expand their horizans.
