Keeping your child
connected this summer!
Think more than just video games! Have your child go on a
scavenger hunt with your camera phone.
They can take picture of things that are green, things that are round, shiny things or even their favorite things in your house or outside. Be creative and then let them share their photos. Have them write grocery or
to do lists for you on your phone or tablet.
Have them be in charge of crossing off the items as you shop or complete them.
Create drawings on the computer about activities they do.
Use a drawing website like TuxPaint to draw and write about places you go or activities you do throughout the summer. Make signage for pretend
play areas or a lemonade stand.
When your child is playing make believe, have them create signs or pictures to put in their space. Make a sign to advertise their lemonade stand. Have them research things
they see around them.
Technology at homeTechnology has become an everyday part of our lives. Cellphones and tablets can keep us connected to the world everywhere we go. They provide immediate entertainment and information, but they can also remove us from the world. We can get lost in the technology and lose sight of events happening around us. How can we use these tools to teach our kids to interact with the world and not hide inside the game or movie?
