Summer School
We school year-round but take a decidedly laidback approach to summer. I don't know about you, but I am SO done with school right now.
We continue a light touch on math each morning, and some of my kiddos haven't finished up subjects from the school year so they'll be getting those done as well. But then I always let them choose a subject or two and a project they want to pursue for the summer. This year my middle daughter wants to learn how to jump rope, so we even put that down on the schedule.
This is what summer's school load will look like:

We can finish breakfast, Circle Time, chores, and school all before lunch. Then after lunch we swim, I read aloud for an hour or more while they play Legos, draw, or otherwise keep their hands busy. Swim some more, swing on the hammock, swim again, then make dinner.
Aaaaaah. I love summer!
