We are having a summer of life skills. I want my kids to learn how to clean, cook, ride a bike, swim...you know, just the basics of life. Sugardoodle.net has some great summer lesson plans that have helped us have some structure to our summer and given me the chance to help my kids with some math and reading skills. Of course we have hours of free play and run around and play time, but it's nice to make something meaningful happen this summer.
We're also trying to be more active as a family. We've found city walking trails, we've taken the kids to the high school track and let them run and ride to their hearts' content, we've gone swimming...all for very little-to-no cost.
At the beginning of the summer, I had the kids pick something they wanted to learn how to do. My little guy wanted to learn how to make pancakes, my little gal wanted to jump off the high dive. We've tried to have learning and teaching moment everyday.
We're having a great summer!!
