I’ve been excited for, and dreading, the first day of school. I’m sending both kids off this year.

I appreciate that Lily’s teacher gives app recommendations. Our issue is that the apps are that most are only available for iPad. He wasn’t sure of comparable Android apps.

Addition
The addition is challenging enough for Lily. When you shake the phone, the apples fall. Shake it again, the pears fall.
Subtraction.
TIP: Disable the swipe in settings. If you accidentally swipe the screen, the game switches to another agent you’re in the middle.
So far, we’ve only used the Lite (free) version, but both kids ask to “play the math game” on my phone.
Highly Recommended!
I’d love some educational kid’s app recommendations! Please leave them in the comments.

Lily brought home her school pictures today. Again, I’m very impressed with Inter-State Studios.
Adding the embellishments to her portrait were free (some do cost). I can also order online if I forget to send her envelope in.
