“Summer slide” is a term used to describe how some kids forget what they learned in school over the summer vacation break. For families looking to add a little learning back into their kids lives before they head back to school, here are two free websites that can help.
PowerMyLearning – to some of the best free educational games, activities, simulations and videos on the web for kids. Kids can access more than 1,000 digital materials presented to them by age and/or subject matter.
Wonderopolis – Offering a “Wonder of the Day@,” this site offers something new each day for kids and families to think about, view and imagine. One day, the “wonder” will be about the Milky Way, showing time-lapse photography of it in the night sky. On another day, the “wonder” will be about how to make Dream Catchers.
