flashmaster date


chick fil a milk shake and a trip to the 'jumpy' at the mall

We LOVE the flashmaster in our house! Basically it's like flashcards only electronic. The kids have been using it for several years now and get rewarded with what ever they want after they go through all 9 levels of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They do each one in 9 sec, 7 sec, 5 sec, and 3 sec and have to get 28, 29, or 30 right (out of 30) to move on. It takes a while for them to get through all the levels...sometimes faster than other. Cailey went through the entire thing so quickly that I owed her two 'prizes' so we went on a date. She asked for a cookies and cream milkshake from chick fil a and to jump on the giant trampoline thing at the mall. After that we went shopping together. What a fun day!

Braden usually asks for giant candy bars, dates with me, and movies as his prizes. It takes them a good 2-3 months to go through all the levels and they can pick the prize. (Thankfully they haven't asked for anything too crazy.)
