Family Games and summer learning

My oldest is 9 and my youngest is 5, these are some of our favorite games. The oldest gets to teach--as does the middle child.
  • Sum Swamp
  • No Stress Chess
  • Old Maid
  • Mermaid Cards
  • Pizza Fraction Fun Game
  • Math Dice
I also purchase workbooks off of amazon for the summer months. Each child has to do 3 pages when they wake up in the morning.  These are some of my favorites--

  • Comprehensive Curriculum of Basic Skills
  • Sylvan Fun on the Run Series
  • Sylvan Workbooks
I also do science in the afternoons, last year we focused on geology and did lots of "field trips" to local areas.  This year I have signed up the girls for a weekly earth science program a wonderful woman I know is running. They only have 3 sessions and then we are onto Monterey.

We go to the library weekly for books and are working on handwriting styles. They are really liking the last.
