Last week I wrote a post, Using Wonder to Engage Children Over the Summer and Monday hosted #WonderChat on Twitter about engaging children in wonder over the summer months. During the chat I shared many websites and ideas that would not only be helpful in engaging children of all ages in Wonder, but would engage them in a fun, interactive and educational way. Below are some great websites and links. All summer activities are from EDSITEment!, ARTSEDGE, readwritethink, ScienceNetLinks and Wonderopolis.
