Many teachers have asked us what apps we would recommend for summer learning, so here's a VERY short list of apps we like for all subject areas in Grades K-5.
Math Doodles
Math Doodles was chosen the 2012 Parent's choice Gold award winner, and Editor's Choice award for Excellence in Design. It includes Math challenges such as Sum Stackers, Connect the Sums, Splat Go Round, Symmetry Shuffle, and a Sneak Peek Challenge. There are also several challenge modes for children to keep track of their progress. It is bright and entertaining to eliminate the "I'm bored with this" response!

Stack the States
Stack the States is one of my children's favorite apps! It includes multiple choice questions about state capitals, landmarks, geographic locations, and flags. When you answer correctly, you drop the states onto the board, one on top of the next, in order to reach a goal line. It has similarities to Tetris, but more educational!
Puppet Pals
Puppet Pals is a very simple digital storytelling app for young students. The free version of this app is slightly limited to characters and backgrounds, etc. but overall, Puppet Pals offers a good starting point for students to get creative with the writing process.
Trading Cards
Trading Cards, from ReadWriteThink, is a great app that allows students a way to express their understanding of a topic in a more unique way. Students can sort their cards into collections, create fictional characters, or use this app to fulfill the Trading Card requirement in the Frog unit for 3rd grade.
BrainPop Jr. Movie of the Week
If you are already familiar with BrainPop or BrainPop Jr., the Movie of the Week app is available on iPads and iPods for your students to view the movie and then follow up with related materials such as quizzes, and other educational activities. All core subjects, as well as Health and Arts & Technology are included.
30 Hands
30 Hands is an innovative storytelling app that allows for students and teachers to be creative with their pictures, drawings, writings, etc., while recording audio to coincide with their images.
Vocabulary Spelling City
Vocabulary Spelling City is an app that tests both Spelling and Vocabulary with built in word lists or customized lists from school. Students can play different games like Alphabetize, Sentence Unscramble, and HangMouse to practice their list. Fun app for the summer, indeed.
