Yay!! It’s finally summer break! It’s time to play and explore, but it can also be a time to learn. Although workbooks, tutoring sessions, and flash cards are great ways for kids to maintain their skills over the summer break, there are many hands-on adventures that can offer kids the chance to learn all summer long. The best part is that they will be having so much fun that they won’t even realize they are learning. Here are some fun ways to keep the learning alive this summer!
