Summer school is going very well.
We're doing summer school at our house this year. It gives the girls something to do. It gives me a way to feel like I'm doing something productive. It helps the girls stay in the "zone." I can't see anything negative about it at all.
Both girls are enjoying the summer school activities. They do a little bit of math, reading, writing, and science. We haven't done much social studies yet, but I'm sure we'll get some in. Every once in awhile one or the other of the kids will complain that they don't want to do any work, but they wind up enjoying it in the end. I'm glad we all have something to keep us busy while Daniel is at work.
Thanks Karen for dropping by my blog. It sounds like you have an equally busy life with the girls. Glad summer school going well. Our 12 yr old last day before summer was this past week. He is going to be going to a few camps this summer to keep him active/busy. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteCamps sound like so much fun. When my girls get a little older I want to try to send them to one. I hope your son enjoys his summer!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun...and beautiful blog! (Found your blog from Six Word Saturday!)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kasi! It really is a lot of fun. I'll be coming by to see your blog, too!
ReplyDeleteGreat summer school is going well. I love your header on this blog. Do you live close to this? It's beautiful. Great 6WS!
ReplyDeleteIt's going to start from Monday on...oh boy! It's encouraging to know that your girls reacted well to the summer school sessions. Hopefully, my son with enjoy it eventually.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
Susan, I don't live close to this, but I wish I did. I love the sound of the ocean and the creatures that live in and around it. I also like lighthouses. These sounds were ones that brought me comfort during some tough times, and the lighthouses bring me hope and are symbolic of being guidance when needed. The picture came as a sample picture on my computer, and I thought it was perfect for me.
ReplyDeleteAnne: I can't wait to hear how summer school goes for your son. I hope he will enjoy it, too. Be sure to start with something fun!
I like the new look blog. Summer school seems totally foreign to me, not something that we do a lot of in Australia. But I'm all for anything that keeps the kids amused and busy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Fi. I'm glad the new look is appealing! I don't think a lot of parents do summer school here, either, but I needed something to do to keep my own mind occupied. It's my way of using my teaching skills since I won't be able to work this coming school year. How long is your summer break in Australia?
ReplyDeleteKaren, summer break in Australia is 7 weeks. Starts mid December and they go back the end of January.
ReplyDeleteI read your post on camping and had to laugh - we took our boys camping a lot when they were younger and had a similar rain story. Only we stayed put and slept around the leaks that started to appear in the tent - not fun but we definitely laugh about it now
Cheers for dropping by
That sounds like a nice summer break. Ours is a little longer (about 11 weeks) and can get quite boring. My husband keeps saying we need to move our break to December, even though that is winter. That way the kids would be home during the Christmas craziness and have their new toys and things to play with in December. I think it would be a great idea.
