Yep.
I don’t want them to forget everything they learned all year, so we keep up a light schedule in the summer. What else are we doing on summer mornings anyway? The pool doesn’t open til noon!
There’s no reason they can’t do a couple of pages of English and a couple of pages of Math every day with other subjects thrown in every now and then.
Also, summer is a great time for tons of field trips to nature centers, natural history museums, zoos, pet stores, children’s museums, parks and so much more. Kansas City is an amazing place to homeschool.
Regular school suggests kids do a workbook over the summer to keep up their skills, but how many people do you know who actually do that, especially if the kids are in day camp, daycare, at the sitter, etc.?
I agree! It doesn't have to be a biggie! Have blogged and linked to you. Have a great day! :)
ReplyDeleteAh yes, I will be working with Ivy over the summer. Usually I take more breaks during year (smaller ones) so then I have to anyway.
