Featured Summer Website

Summer can be more than just vacation time for kids; it's also a great opportunity for parents to spend more time participating in learning activities with their children. The Children's Technology Workshop is a great resource for finding a workshop or camp near you this summer. Icamp is one of the camps available, where your child can pick one of ten skills to improve. The sessions are available in Houston, Friendswood and Sugarland. There is a cost associated with Icamp, but the skills run from game creation, animation, graphic design to robotics and engineering.

Featured Summer Reading

Summer reading lists are probably the most common way teachers try to stop summer loss, and there are plenty of excellent lists online. How do you get kids to read? Offer them fascinating books! Try books chosen by kids, not just grown-ups.

NEA's Read Across America lists the top kids' picks and the top educators' picks among both classics and new works.

Featured Activity

The Houston Zoo is a wonderful Houston landmark that your family will love. Who doesn't love a trip to the zoo? Kids and adults alike will marvel at the new Natural Encounters exhibit featuring such diverse creatures as the scarlet ibis, meerkats, and blind mole rats. The exhibit also features a living coral reef.

Another favorite attraction for kids is the Children's Zoo, which has many chances for up-close-and personal interaction with domestic farm animals, as well as educational information about the different habitats of Texas. Most kids will love the unique Wildlife Carousel, a giant merry-go-round with some very unusual animals to "ride."
