Giveaway: Fun Summer Time Learning to Keep Kids Sharp

 

It’s so important to keep our kids learning throughout the summer.  It helps to keep them focused and engaged. It also helps keep  their academic skills sharp and polished and can help them excel in their upcoming school year.

I use to always purchase workbooks and flash cards for the next academic grade my son was entering, for him to work on during the summer.  It helped tremendously, and he always did well in his school year.  I feel that it gave him confidence by understanding what he would be learning in his new school year.

I have some great learning materials to keep your kids Math and Logic skills sharp during their summer vacation, from some of my favorites, Weldon Owen and Think Tank Scholar.

Spirit Untamed only in theaters #SpiritUntamed #RWM #AD

  • This is a sponsored post on behalf of Review Wire Media for Dreamworks.

Spirit is back and you are only going to be able to see in in theaters. How excited is that.  We can head back to the theaters get our popcorn and candy and watch on the big screen.  Dreamworks Spirit has become a classic with kids and adults.  When I was a kid I loved riding horses and everything about them.  My aunt had the best horse that would bow down and let you clime on and that is what started my loved for horses.  I love that Spirit brings the love of horses to kids to have never been able to personally see how amazing they are.

Spirit is one of the best shows your kids can watch.  It is truly a magical show for the whole family. We got some of the most beautiful swag for this movie and I am in LOVE with the backpack, I don’t know if little guy is going to share.

An epic adventure about a headstrong girl longing for a place to belong who discovers a kindred spirit when her life intersects with a wild horse, Spirit Untamed is the next chapter in the beloved story from DreamWorks Animation.
Lucky Prescott (Isabela Merced, Dora and the Lost City of Gold) never really knew her late mother, Milagro Navarro (Eiza González, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw), a fearless horse-riding stunt performer from Miradero, a small town on the edge of the wide-open frontier.
Like her mother, Lucky isn’t exactly a fan of rules and restrictions, which has caused her Aunt Cora (Academy Award® winner Julianne Moore) no small amount of worry. Lucky has grown up in an East Coast city under Cora’s watchful eye, but when Lucky presses her own luck with one too many risky escapades, Cora picks up stakes and moves them both back with Lucky’s father, Jim (Oscar® nominee Jake Gyllenhaal), in Miradero.
Lucky is decidedly unimpressed with the sleepy little town. She has a change of heart when she meets Spirit, a wild Mustang who shares her independent streak, and befriends two local horseback riders, Abigail Stone (Mckenna Grace, Captain Marvel) and Pru Granger (Marsai Martin, Little). Pru’s father, stable owner Al Granger (Emmy winner Andre Braugher, Fox’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine), is the best friend of Lucky’s father.

When a heartless horse wrangler (Emmy nominee Walton Goggins, FX’s Justified) and his team plan to capture Spirit and his herd and auction them off to a life of captivity and hard labor, Lucky enlists her new friends and bravely embarks on the adventure of a lifetime to rescue the horse who has given her freedom and a sense of purpose, and has helped Lucky discover a connection to her mother’s legacy and to her Mexican heritage that she never expected.
Spirit Untamed is the next chapter in DreamWorks Animation’s beloved franchise that began with the 2002 Oscar-nominated film Spirit: Stallion of Cimarron and includes an Emmy-winning TV series. The film is directed by Elaine Bogan (Netflix and DreamWorks Animation Television’s Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia) and is produced by Karen Foster (co-producer, How to Train Your Dragon). The film’s co-director is Ennio Torresan (head of story, The Boss Baby), and the film’s score is by composer Amie Doherty (Amazon’s Undone, DreamWorks Animation’s Marooned).
Genre: Animated Adventure
Cast: Isabela Merced, Julianne Moore, Jake Gyllenhaal, Marsai Martin, Mckenna Grace, Walton Goggins, Andre Braugher and Eiza González
