Summer Learning Activities from PBS Kids

Summer is officially here and for most of us it is an opportunity to do things we couldn't do throughout the school year - take it easy, spend more time outdoors, do something adventurous, learn new skills, and spend more time with the friends and family. It is a time to see who really your kids are, what they like and where they need a bit more confidence, tell them about things you like and teach them to manage their leisure time with some structure. Below is a list of resource links from the PBS Kids of fun summer science and math activities.
