I can safely say this is the best summer I’ve ever had. Here’s just a few of the things I did on My Summer Vacation: Camp Invention-I was a Counselor In Training at Camp Invention for a week, along with two of my friends. It was great to get to work with all the little kids, and I had a lot of fun teaching them new things. Junior Scholar Institute-JSI is a wonderful program in Iowa where kids in grades 6-8 stay in the college dorms for a week while taking a class of their choice. It was a great feeling like a "real" college student! I took the Japanese course and had a lot of fun. I also made many friends during the week.

This Color By Shape exercise is a great way to not only teach the littles their shapes, but helps their manual dexterity with their coloring. That builds on their writing skills for down the road. Why is it important to learn shapes? Color and shape are ways children observe and categorize what they see. These very recognizable characteristics encourage children to define and organize the diverse world around them. These first teachings in preschool and kindergarten are basics that your child needs to know before she learns the "other basics" of reading, writing, and math. Understanding color and shape is a tool for learning many skills in all curriculum areas, from math and science to language and reading.
