That joke ALWAYS makes me laugh. You know what doesn’t make me laugh? The “Summer Slide” aka “summer learning loss.” You’ve heard about it. You may have even experienced it yourself back in the day.

(and it’s not nearly as fun as this!)

Luckily, The Walking Classroom has a fun way for you and your kids to keep learning all summer—but NOT in a sitting-inside, boring way! Just take regular walks with your child while listening to one of our kid-friendly educational podcasts.

Your kids will love the fact that you’re doing it together and won’t even realize how much they’re learning. Your walking routine will build great memories as well as boost your child’s core content knowledge for the next school year! (And, you might learn something yourself!)

And don’t forget to kick off your walk with this week’s joke!

Slow the summer slide! Walk, listen, and learn with your kids!

The Walking Classroom podcasts offer a super simple (and free) way for your kids (and you!) to learn about topics in language arts, social studies, and science—all while you take a brisk, energizing walk. Your kids will be building happy, healthy, and smart habits for life.
