Day 3: Internet-linked Books
This is my favorite! I absolutely love to read. Unfortunately, my boys are not as excited about reading as I am. But, I found a solution that not only helps my boys get excited about reading, but helps us bond over a good book. Internet-linked books! Usborne has wonderful books of all kinds. (Yes, I'm an independent consultant for Usborne:)) The Internet-linked books that Usborne provides have been an asset to our home school here at Ark Academy. It adds so much to our curriculum! Our favorite right now is the Reference Collection. We are currently studying about ancient times in our history. Just yesterday we found links that took us to maps of Israel, videos about the temple of King Solomon and pictures to download. I love books. My boys love technology. These books have been the answer to "linking" the two together!
Something else that has served as a special way for my little techies and me to bond is to celebrate their interests. For instance, today is National Techies Day! We did not even know that this holiday existed until we were doing our calendar time and came across it here. We have had so much fun today taking "tech breaks" throughout the day to celebrate. Plus, we plan to make cards for our favorite techies. Just a simple thank you to let them know that we appreciate the work that they do for us. (They plan on making a big one for their daddy!)

What are some things that you do to "link" with your children?
