In fact, we just did a post on this topic; http://rootsandwingsco.blogspot.com/2009/06/oh-what-do-you-do-in-summertime.html<br />I first figure out what my goals are for the summer. What does each kid need to work on (phonics, spelling, math, etc) and make up a schedule and a curriculum for each of them. I already have a daily chore chart that we follow. I also figure out what is important to me to do during summer, and include my kids input on these ideas. I then actually schedule those events. If we don't have a specific day to go to the water park, we just wont do it! On a daily basis my kids have to be up by a certain time (sleeping in some, but not a lot). Then, we eat and go straight into chores. Once chores are done we jump right into an hour of school time. I've made it fun, and it's only Tuesday through Friday. My sister and I also run a summer camp for all the family. With just cousins, Nana, and the Aunts that amounts to 12-15 people including 8 children! Fun, right!? We have done this for a few summers now. It's one day a week and is based on a theme a day. My sister and I decided what was important to each of us to be teaching our kids, and that's how we came up with our themes. It's always lots of fun for the kids, and hopefully is providing them with priceless memories with their family and of summertime!<br /><br />RebeccaRootsAndWingsCohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17941828347260961696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3619181196885612900.post-21314046291207481232009-06-09T14:38:20.442-04:002009-06-09T14:38:20.442-04:00Great ideas!

I'm also busy finding overnight camps so he can have different experiences. This is alot of work to juggle and plan for but I know it will be worth it in the end.<br /><br />Normally I'd have my trailer parked up at our fav campground all summer so we could dash up whever we desired. This year is different, first time in around 10 years I won't be spending summer up there (finances etc are tighter) so I'll admit I'm abit at limbo, wondering what to do at (gasp!) HOME during summer! I hope to have some hacking away at the renos time too.<br /><br />Thanks for your chart idea, it's cool and makes them responsible for themselves as well, which generally, who has time for during a busy school morning?<br /><br />DonnaFunky Junk Interiorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14349795167023622107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3619181196885612900.post-85402614356642749522009-06-04T12:22:33.891-04:002009-06-04T12:22:33.891-04:00Awesome!
