Thought this feature could make for a great brainstorming lead-in. The story focuses on teachers' best ideas for keeping learning alive this summer. Good stuff. Would love to hear your secrets for this every-summer challenge.
For us, summer means quite a few long drives. And long drives are perfect for trivia. The older kids get everything from math facts ("the speed round") to spelling, while the 2 year-old gets cousins (she has 30 of them!) and Disney Princess questions.
What are you best tricks for keeping young brains firing?

I love to have my children in the kitchen when I am preparing a meal. We are working on doubling a receipe. I hate fractions, but I want my children not be in doubt of them.Also in the kitchen you can incorporate the wonderful world of science! The great outdoors works also with tree and bird id.
I love summertime as it is a chance to homeschool my kiddos.
