Summer is here and we are in full summer mode. Tons of time hanging out by the pool and hanging out with friends every day. BUT part of me, like many parents, starts worrying about the dreaded summer slide. So many kids fall behind in reading and math. My kids read all the time, they inherited my love of books. But math? Different story. When I was asked to partner with UMIGO to share with you their innovative and creative site that makes Common Core math fun for kids, I really wanted to partner with them.
Boon (a lazy cat) and Pimento (a hyperactive rabbit) live in a quirky house in the middle of the desert. Fortunately, they have access to a website where they can order anything they want!
Here’s the rub: for every little problem that crops up in their lives, they try to order a solution from the website. Confused by the magnitude of items available, Pimento can’t help but ordering something that is not exactly suited to their needs like a hair dryer to reheat pizza or a vacuum cleaner to remove the spinach stuck in Boon’s teeth… Let’s hope they won’t bring the house down!
