Welcome to {Works for me Wednesday}!!
Summer time is a great time for kids to start to forget all of the things that they learned throughout the year. That way when school starts back up it takes them a while to get back into the swing of things, because let’s face it at the end of August Long Vowels and Short Vowels are pretty much the same thing in the mind of my 7 year old.
I found a way to see to it that this doesn’t happen to my main lil’ man!
Passing through my mall we have this awesome store where you can buy curriculum packets for homeschooling and a ton of other awesome educational things, and they had a stand right outside of their store with {Summer Bridge Activies} books. I stopped looked through one and was sold I bought one for my son going into 2nd grade and LOVE it!!!
It has a summer reading list, flash cards, a fitness program, things on feelings and every day there is a worksheet for them to do that keeps them brushed up on the little things. Plus there’s a TON more things packed in this nifty workbook. Every day’s worksheet is different, it takes them about 15-20 minutes for them to finish it up, and you don’t feel like the day was a complete waste of their minds!
So, this summer this is what’s working for this family, and my son even loves doing his worksheets! I highly recommend this program for the summer.

Looks like they have a great pre-k workbook, too. Thanks for sharing! =)
we have that and I need to put it to use. Thanks for talking about it! 🙂 I think it would be a GREAT thing to do with the boys this summer.
I've used some of their books before and they are great! 😀
