Today I'm sharing ideas to spice up summer learning at your house with kids of all ages!
The Door Bell Rang is not just an excellent read aloud, but a fun way to incorporate lessons for reading, math, crafting and sharing. If you don't have a copy of this book at home, a quick search online will produce many videos to watch with your little ones. Mom's cookies are flying off the plate in this fun book that naturally lends itself to subtraction or division. Whatever skill your child is working on you can easily replicate with cookies that they craft out of paper, Playdoh or even real life cookies that can double as counters and a snack! So pull out the cookies and plates and let the math fun begin! Model asking good questions like, "How many friends could you share your cookies with evenly?" or "If 3 of your friends came, how could the 4 of you share these cookies equally?" Then ask them to quiz you! The characters in the book also create a sweet opportunity for you to talk about sharing and there's a surprise ending that will incorporate addition as well! The possibilities are endless! Come back next week for more fun ideas to bring learning to life!
