I will never regret the years I stayed home with my two kids and taught preschool. They are memories I will treasure forever. Being able to teach children in my community is a blessing and I love that I get to teach every day.

I love going to the beach. Even if you can't swim in the ocean, because there's a double red flag, there is so much to do. For me it's just relaxing listening to the waves comes in. If you enjoy the beach as much as I do you'll want to bring it into your classroom in an ocean or beach theme. I have just revamped this product. Check it out or any of my other ocean/beach themed reading activities, math activities, or center activities. ENJOy!

What are you doing to keep your child learning over the summer? When my own kids were little they loved Star Wars- they still do. So I found activities to keep them engaged and practicing basic skills for a few minutes every day.

Other ways I keep my children’s brains alert is reading, traveling to learn about different cultures, playing pretend, practicing musical instruments, going for walks and talking. We are constantly using our brains; my kids just usually don’t realize it.

What brain activities are you doing this summer? Let me know in the comments.
