So, you see, school isn't really out, it's just changed. We officially begin our summer schedule of school and chores on Monday. Summer chores include such riveting things as weeding the rocks, weeding the vegetable garden and weeding the flower gardens (I've got a LOT of weeds!). Great fun!
The sad part of this year's last day of school is that it is Evan's last day of being taught by me! :( In August he will be start taking college classes through a state program called the Post Secondary Enrollment Option (PSEO)
, so I will no longer be his teacher (although I did tell him I will tutor him if necessary). It will be so strange not to have him home all day next year! We will miss him in our class room.
I'm taking a few weeks off to re group over here. It has been getting kind of tricky getting everything done.So I'll be back schooling soon. You will not be alone in cracking open the books this summer. Wow how thng wll change for you this fall.

Tina,
ReplyDeleteAs always, it was great talking with you as well! No, our conversation was not related to the quote in anyway :)
Enjoy your weeks off. I would do that, but I don't think I'd ever get up the momentum to get started again!

I am also planning on teaching my preschoolers over the summer months! With my "big kids" done with their "bookwork" over the summer, it frees up some time to really focus on teaching the little ones more. We dont do bookwork in the summer, but every day, all of my kids who can read, need to read for at least 1/2 hour or longer. And, they really learn a ton over the summer about nature. we spend a lot of time outdoors, doing nature "study" - although most often, I dont think they even realize they are learning because it's so fun!
