Homeschool Resources: Educational Apps for 6 through 11 years old

During Christmas David won a Tablet from his job at American Airlines. David blessed me with the tablet  as part of my Christmas present. If the truth were known I wasn’t sure I would like a tablet. I didn’t even know if I would even use the tablet. I had bought myself a tablet a couple of years ago which I haven’t ever used.

The tablet David gave me, I’ve fallen in love with. I use this tablet a lot. With me homeschooling Charlie he will be able to use the tablet for his schoolwork. I found Educational Apps for ages 6 through 11 years old which Charlie will be using. I also thought you might want to check these Apps out for your children.

It’s hard to use my tablet because as soon as I look for the tablet, Charlie is on it. Or comes in and wants to take over what I’m doing on the tablet. I am thinking I will pay it forward and let Charlie have my tablet. Then I will go out and purchase one that is just mine for work.

I’m going to give Charlie my tablet and I wanted to make sure Charlie has learning applications he can do. This way Charlie isn’t  just playing games and not learning anything.

I researched on Amazon and found the following apps for Charlie and as I was adding them to our tablet I thought you might like checking the applications out as well.

All of your states appear on your own personalized map of the United States. Try to collect all 50!
