Schools out, time for fun! Summer around here is pretty laid back. We still do school- mostly finishing the stuff we didn’t get to during the regular school. This year’s plans include logic, geography, art, writing, and maybe Latin. Since Alex isn’t doing a foreign language for high school, I thought if we did Latin over the summers and then take the National Latin Exam in the Spring, I could use the scores to show colleges if necessary. We try to use this time to decompress from the school year, relax and enjoy the sun. Well, at least until it’s into the low 100’s.
Alex is looking forward to water parks, video games, swimming and hanging out with his friend visiting for the summer.
I’m looking forward to catching up on some crafting and cleaning and organizing (yes, I really do like to do that) the house and school supplies. Then there’s the lesson planning for next year. I typically try to do the whole years planning over the summer so that during the school year, I don’t have to worry about the big stuff. If all the major planning is done, then I just have to do weekly maintenance. It's such a relief when the everyday get's in the way of the everyday to know that there's a plan for our lessons.
Enjoy your time off!
