This just might be the best initiative that this administration came up with. Our schools, students, and teachers are so behind the rest of the western world when it comes to teaching kids science and math and this new initiative that has been announced by Obama is a promising new shift.
Now if we can get our presidents to stop starting their sentences with “Make no mistake…”

Where The Wild Things Are –
This great children’s story has been turned into a movie and then into an IPhone / IPod Touch app. This free app lets you play with Carol, explore characters, photos, watch trailer, listen to music, etc. This is great if you are deciding whether or not to take your child to see the movie in the theater, or if your child just loved the movie and can’t wait for the DVD.
The kids will love it!
Let the wild rumpus start!
Math Drills Lite App - great for kids 6 and up. The app is FREE and you child can have great math practice in addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication. The graphics are great and the child will benefit from the number grid visual as well.
I personally don’t like to call math practice a drill , but it’s so important for your child to have a daily math practice, which solidifies the knowledge of numbers for good. A great app and it’s FREE. You can’t go wrong. Plus your little one will really like it.

Best IPhone/IPod Touch App for Kids
1. Doodle Buddy- This is a free app and it’s great for kids! They will spend hours drawing, placing stamps, combining pictures, drawing, and stamps.
2. Veggie Tales Just For Me - little Veggie Tale fans will love this one.
Best TV shows for kids 3 and up
1. 
Blues Clues- This show is great. It teaches your child problem solving skills in a fun and engaging way. Perhaps the best thing is that kids learn how to infer the clues to solve the problem. It’s just great! A definite buy/rent/keep.
2. 
Veggie Tales- You can’t go wrong with Veggie Tales. Each episode/show is a treasure on its own. It’s hard to decide what is better, the story or the music in it. As a parent, you will find yourself singing the most funniest songs along with your kids. The story plots and the dialogue are as interesting to adults as they are to kids. Just a great show that teaches kids problem solving, values, and outstanding music sense. Brilliant!
Hop on Pop -by Dr. Seuss is one o the best books for early readers. First graders tirelessly reread this book with everlasting enthusiasm. Like other Dr. Seuss books, “Hop on Pop” is full of funny rhymes and interesting illustrations. Words are easy enough to for an early reader and text is full of high frequency words, which are great for kids to practice.
