Expanding Young Minds Through Entertainment #StreamTeam

Justin Time at the Beach

Every year you hear about how kids in the Summer months begin to lose some of their learning from the previous school year. In our house we are having the kids each do writing exercises to improve their handwriting and a lot of reading. Eva has taken to reading on her own and she is unstoppable. She’s read a ton of books already and has blown through a stack of books that I received for review. Andrew, seeing that his sister gets to stay up a little later because she is reading has been exploring his own bookshelf library. So, on that front they are doing well.

But what about something new? Are they learning new things? Yes, they are when we go on fun adventures, but that isn’t as often as we’d like. So, to supplement that we are looking at the Netflix Passport and you can download your own by clicking the image below.

With this passport you have some great suggestions for educational entertainment for the kids during the Summer months. The passport includes suggestions for shows with a global view, some focused on Arctic Discovery and Latin influences as well as discovering information about dinosaurs. I look forward to watching many of these suggestions especially Tales by Light, with the kids. This is the most interesting to me because it is about photography in far off places. That really excites me and I think it will be interesting to the kids, too.

Find Voltron at San Diego Comic-Con

Voltron at SDCC

Each year I wish that I could be at San Diego Comic-Con. There are so many properties that I’d like to learn about and some cool exclusive items I wish I could buy. This year is no different. I would love to be able to drop in on the Voltron panel and other fun events around one of my favorite Netflix shows. I’d love to see the panel that is happening with executive producer Joaquim Dos Santos, co-executive producer Lauren Montgomery, Bex Taylor-Klaus (Pidge) and Tyler Labine (Hunk). I’d like to see the first episode of season 3 that will be shown at that panel, too.

Hunks Truck

Something really fun that is happening is that there will be Hunk’s Food Truck which will be serving Hunk’s Food Goo, which will most likely be some sort of Frozen Yogurt. You can see the full details below.
