learning Is Fun

Play & Learn:-Learn math by playing catch.

For a lot of kids, second through fifth grade is a time of wildly imaginative play and ceaseless exuberance. It’s also a time academically when kids are forced to get certain kinds of basic knowledge deeply and permanently committed to memory.

Math facts — simple addition and subtraction, multiplication, and division — are probably the most grueling and tedious of these chores. (Just try to brightly suggest that flash cards can be fun and see what sort of response you get from a child struggling with learning his 7s time tables.)

But this game offers a new twist on an old task. Whether you’re tossing a beach ball by the ocean or just imagining sandy dunes on the living-room floor, this simple game can turn math drills into silly, athletic fun.

What you’ll need

  • An inflated beach ball
  • A permanent marker (black or dark blue)

Make it happen

Divide the ball into large sections with the permanent marker. In each section write a numeral. Toss the ball to another player or up in the air and catch. Locate the sections in which the player's thumb has landed, and remember the numeral. Toss the ball again and note where the catcher's thumb lands. Add or subtract these numerals. Keep playing!

Extending the game

Increase the difficulty by using larger numbers to add and subtract or by multiplying the numbers.

How you can help at home: Have your child use descriptive words to write about an object.

In this activity your child writes about an object in detail.

What You'll Need

  • About six objects of different colors, shapes and sizes. The more similar the objects are, the more challenging the activity will be.
  • Paper
  • Pen or pencil

Here's How to Do It

Place the objects in the middle of a table. Choose one of them and describe it to her. Explain the importance of including the details that make it different from the others. Have your child help you describe it. Remove that object from the pile.

Have your child choose one of the other objects to write about (without telling you which one she chose). Explain that her writing should be very detailed so that when she reads the description to you later, you'll be able to pick the object out of the group. When she's done writing the description have her read it out loud and then you can guess which object she wrote about.

Rhyme On Migratory Birds

MIGRATING BIRDS

I have listened for the beat
Of slow wings across the sea
In their strange retreat
From their foreign liberty
Come the birds from northern land
Where the Russian sleigh bells chime
From the hungry desert sands
Of a southern clime
Come the birds where eastern air
Pierced by lofty minaret
echoes far the Turkish prayer
Of a god we have half forget
In my garden I have strayed
Through the warm sweet days of spring
