    Pragmatic Mom

    I blog on children’s and young adult books, education and parenting. If you have a rising 2nd grader and, oops!, lost the summer homework, I post on it weekly. I also have summer reading lists for kids. Summer to me is a time to review math so there is no learning loss and read books with your kids for pleasure. I am enjoying  most the unscheduled down time we have!
