FROM THE EDITOR:
 
Summer is around the corner. With the summer heat in full swing, make learning fun indoors for your children. Every summer when my boys were younger we would watch educational videos on every subject. Your local library is full of videos and DVDs you can check out for FREE. We also enjoyed reading and creating fun projects. Start planning a funfilled learning experience with your children this summer!
 
Happy Homeschooling!
