Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

I hope all of you are having a great holiday week! I know that not everyone celebrates in the same way, but this time of year is so full of holidays and warm family times. I hope that you are taking advantage of this time.

I also know that school is taking a back seat right now, at least at my house. In the next week we are breaking in my daughter’s new computer that she got for Christmas, it came loaded with a lot of games and things we transferred from the desk top to her new lap top.

One of the things I am going to get her to do in the next week, between Christmas and New Year’s Day is work on some typing games. Part of this is to keep her brain from totally turning into mush, and part of this is to familiarize her with her keyboard. Because come the beginning of January we are jumping back to school in full swing and she will be using her computer for school as well as fun.

I’m thinking about getting her to fun a couple of other education type games as well, maybe some vocabulary games, or maybe put her on a search to find out information about something that interests her, like horses, or dogs. She will practice research skills, and learn a lot of things about her new computer in the process.

I hope that you all have a great and joyous time, Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays!!
