Summer Slide is definitely not a slide you want your child to be on this summer! The Summer Slide is a regression in skills (particularly reading) that takes place during the summer months when students aren’t in school. I’ve included my best tips on how to beat the Summer Slide.
Whiskey Chicken

Education Websites I Love For Pre-K/Early Elementary
Who worries that their kid is watching too much tv?
Or playing too many video games everyday?
So many of us struggle with this, because while it’s okay let them watch tv, play video games, or play on the ipad sometimes, we all know too much is not good.
So then what else can we do at those times that we must get things done, and the kiddos are itching to use technology?!?
Find a great website or app that is reinforcing learning, that they also LOVE!!!
