go to the library  and check out some books with science experiments. You could do the summer reading program with the girls.........Our library offers prizes for reading books.

Answer 4

Estimate the weight of a household object. Ask your child to guess the weight of the family cat, a dictionary, a glass of water. Then use a scale to find out the real weight. Have him estimate his own weight, and that of other family members. Were his estimates on target?

Buy your child a watch with an hour and second hand. Periodically ask him to tell you what time it is. Ask questions like: "If Arthur comes on at 4 p.m., how many more minutes do you have to wait?" "It takes me 15 minutes to drive to the store. Do I have time to get there before it closes at 5 p.m.?"

Use M&M's to teach fractions. Have your child count the M&M pieces in a bag. Then sort them by color. Count the number of green M&M's to find out what fraction of all of the candy is that color. Do the same with the other colors. Eat the results.

Fold a napkin. An idea from the U.S. Department of Education: Fold paper towels or napkins into large and small fractions. Start with halves, then move to quarters, then eighths, and finally 16ths. Use magic markers to label the fractions.

Answer 5

What about summer camps at the park district? Or in a play- or a tutoring service at Sylvan? Going to the Library is fun.

Classes, like dance and voice.

Going to plays like Wicked.

Swimming or Volleyball class.
