Summer School

The term summer school was the worst thing you could say to a kid while I was growing up. It might as well have been a swear word. No one wanted to do summer school. It was a punishment. Well, not in our house! Summer school means FUN! Emily(*previously posted her name as “email”!How nerdy am I?!?) begs for summer school. Literally. She is so excited to work in her workbook or explore or read a book that we do summer school every day.

Even Avery is excited about it, but she calls it “doin shool.” It’s cute. I don’t need to do summer school with the girls and I don’t even have my curriculum orders yet, but we have a workbook from W@lmart and its fun. I wanted us to get into a routine of doing school in the mornings and see what happens with Avery. At this point, she is more than content to colour for more than an hour while we do school and she is not going to be left out. If I put her down from her booster seat at the table before Emily is finished, there are serious tears.

I talked to my Home school Teacher through the school we are enrolled with and she is good to go with me doing my updates each week via blog! That give me a good excuse to take pictures of everything we are working on and chronicle our journey this way. It’ll give you an idea of what we are up to too. I’m going to have to do a post on the curriculum we’ve decided on too. Tomorrow maybe…
