[quote=Anonymous]We do a fair amount of supplementing at home, but I don't know if it's really "academic". It's just stuff that's fun to teach them. Since this is the AAP forum, I certainly don't think it'll affect whether my kid gets into AAP (DC is only in 1st grade and the NNAT test results were not top-notch!). I just have the kids do things that are fun for them -- online math programs, playing the Allowance Game, doing critical thinking exercises that I found online or from books from Critical Thinking Company, learning about maps, doing crafts and activities to learn about history, doing science experiments, etc. Ten Marks and Kahn Academy are good, free online resources I've looked into for the summer. I've noticed several children in my DC's class getting tutored when we're out and about (see them at the library, going into tutoring centers), which has surprised me. [/quote]
