Turn wasted time into learning time with Carschooling
As an educator, I believe in giving children free time to play around in the backyard, goof-off, and generally be a kid. But let’s face it; time spent in the car is usually wasted time. Some people use extended car trips as an opportunity for their children to break out the DS. In our household, car time is used strategically and purposefully. That’s because carschooling is one of the easiest ways to expand on your child’s education. You have a captive audience on your hands, so you might as well use that to your advantage! Here are some of my favorite educational CDs for all ages. They are available at Amazon or (hopefully) your local library. So buckle up and let the learning begin!Literature
