Education.com Challenge (Summer 2011)

I am entering the education.com summer challenge. I know I probably won't win, but what if I do? There are so many neat things to do for the challenge. I will keep my activity log here. This is going to be fun!!!

Summer’s here!
While you won’t be seeing your students in the classroom each day, you can still help them avoid the summer slide by letting them know about Education.com’s Summer Activities Challenge. The Challenge is an exciting (and free) way for your students and their parents to have fun learning this summer. And they’ll each have a chance to win a $500 Back to School Splurge or one of 10 Indoor/Outdoor Kids Croquet sets.

Here's how they play (you can forward this info right to them or post it on your class website):
