We are smack in the midst of summer, finally. My goal has been to not squelch the summer fun while still managing to accomplish school work at the same time. Really, it's summer fun school with a bit of seat work every day. I need the routine just as much as J, so we are both getting used to a schedule of sorts. For the summer, my goal is for school time to happen right after breakfast. We can usually knock out calendar time, a reading lesson, math, and handwriting in about 45 minutes with a few wiggle breaks. Then the boys have some free play time while I run through the shower, and we still have about 2 hours left until lunch. After lunch is read aloud time and whatever else we dream up.
Of course, this is working around t-ball, summer library programs, park trips, bike rides with friends, time in the sprinkler, and all the other fun summer stuff. None of us enjoy being HOT HOT HOT so we try to either hang out in water or indoors during the hottest parts of the days.
I am also nailing down plans for kindergarten. We are going to try a 4 day week from July to May with a bit of time off around Christmas. That gives us plenty of days scheduled to complete our plans and plenty of built in time off. And realizing that July is just a bit per 2 weeks away has me excited and ready to go!
