Appy Summer Vacation!

For our last session of the year, I would like to introduce a few apps that you might enjoy exploring with your child during the upcoming long vacation. While having fun, students will at the same time continue to read and learn, maintaining important skills during the long break.

(1) Reading

Younger students will surely enjoy these nonfiction books from the Smithsonian Institute (apps designed by Oceanhouse Media).











Older students, who read independently, will definitely be intrigued by the following two interactive book apps.

Alice in New York – a different spin on the classic tale of Alice in Wonderland



Khoya – an interactive fantasy adventure (recommended for teenagers and adults)




(2) Learning

A great app to review and practice computation skills, i.e. addition, subtraction, multiplication and division:





An app to strengthen vocabulary and spelling:




A fun app for different grade levels to test knowledge in several areas, i.e. math, science, language and history :





(3) Photography

Some fun apps to encourage your children to explore their creativity while capturing unforgettable moments during the vacation:








Wishing you a relaxing long vacation and much quality time with family and friends,

Tanja
