Summer Activities

Sometimes, a good activity can also help you to practice valuable skills
or pass them along to your younger brothers and sisters. Parents, of course, should assist, if time permits. :)

Reading is a fun thing for everyone to participate in as a collective group.
You can delegate different people to help with each area.

I ask the cats sometimes to listen to something I play on the piano
or if I read something that concerns them. They always listen and say meow. They give great feedback.

Now, if there are people involved, you get amazing feedback and cooperation!!!!!!

Here's a site with wonderful and fun activities to try out this summer.

Reading is not only engaging. It heightens your awareness to new and exciting things.
I hope this summer is spectacular for all of you at home.

Kids As Future Consumers

Heidi Stevens, in a newspaper article recently (for Tribune Newspapers 5/30/10)
recommends the following sites.

She focuses on media and consumerism in the article and that literacy is needed
for the children to understand that ads are seeking a response from them. This is also going to be more important to them as they are the future consumers in our society.
