Economic Stimulus Check
May 19, 2008
My economic stimulus check has arrived from the government; yay! I’m so happy. Since I’m in the midst of planning for our summer vacation I decided to use this bonus money to help with our summer time fun planning. The first thing I’m going to do with the money is to purchase some books for the kids. I chose to do this instead of sending them to summer school since I work from home and it would take time from my day to transport them back and forth to the school. I bought the following from Rainbow Resource:
1 Mathlink Cubes Primary Activity Book (001227)
1 Teddy Bear Counters at the Fair Activity Book (010131)
1 Pattern Block Book (013718)
1 Summer Bridge Activities 6-7 (004214)
1 Mathlink Cube Activity Book 3-6 (001226)
1 Summer Bridge for Young Christians PK-K (031751)
1 Summer Bridge for Young Christians Gr.4-5 (015149)
1 Summer Bridge for Young Christians Gr. 1-2 (031753)
1 Teddy Bear Counters - Set of 100 (018735)
1 Snap Cubes - Set of 100 (013362)
1 Pattern Blocks & Boards (011915)
These book will provide activities for the kids to keep their brains sharp during the summer and will provide enough “homework” to last them all summer long. I also purchased some learning “toys” and books to go along with them to provide the children with fun things to keep them occupied on those inevitable rainy days.
