Five Ways to Encourage Summer Learning....


Five Ways to Encourage Summer Learning

Whether or not you homeschool, this post by guest contributor Erin Walton has great ideas for stimulating your kids' curiosity during the summer doldrums. From the post:

"Summer is the perfect opportunity to work with focus on a skill- it can be learning to knit or sew, a quest to find the perfect chocolate chip cookie even if you have to bake (and eat) 50 different kinds to do so, or making 100 vinegar and baking soda volcanoes before September rolls around… anything goes!

No matter how silly the quest seems to be, the real learning comes from sticking with a project, thinking about how to improve each time you work at the quest or simply reaching that lofty goal of 100 volcanoes."


Head here to read all five ideas.
