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.

Legend of Zelda, GLOW on Netflix #StreamTeam and Water Drop Lilies

Water Drop Lilies

The lilies in our yard have finally started blooming. We have a bunch of them in the yard. There is a large concentration of them in a spot where we buried the cats. Eva and Andrew want me to dig them (the lilies) up when if and when we move. Probably because we have told the kids that the cats are now part of the lilies and so we take the lilies, we take the cats.

On the Legend of Zelda front I am .09% away from being 100% complete. The thing is, I have no idea exactly where I have to go to find the last location. I have gone through the interactive map and still can’t find the missing location. So now I’ve printed out all of the locations and will have to do a checklist to find what I am missing. I’m trying to get this all done before next Friday when the DLC pack comes out with even more things to do in Hyrule.

I just finished watching a new Netflix series called GLOW. It is a half hour comedy about the creation of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling or GLOW. The show is so full of 80’s Easter Eggs. References to everything from leotards and leg warmers to Back to the Future. There is even a training montage complete with Stan Bush’s “Dare”. The show stars Allison Brie and Marc Maron and is very cheesy but funny at the same time. I do hope that there will be a second season because I’d like to know where things go next.
