In a couple of weeks, we will wrap up our school year and start summer school.

Summer school is different every year, but basically, we have morning time and finish up any courses we still need to complete.

For Morning Time, we will be using the curriculum from A Gentle Feast. I really love this curriculum. We used it last year but didn’t finish it because of all the extra-curricular summer activities. We will do morning time at the regular time, so we have a free afternoon.

I have planned to create a summertime basket for each child with activity books, reading books, and a summer handicraft project. I’m going to allow my children to pick a project to work on during the summer. Handicraft kits can be found at Target and Michael’s.

I will also try to put together a little quiet time basket with books and handicrafts. I also use the summer to work on home projects.

As for summer activities, my children will attend VBS and spend time in the pool. I grew up going to VBS and loved it. It was the highlight of my summer. What’s wonderful is that my kids love VBS, too! So we will be VBS hopping.

We will begin regular school again in August. What are your summer plans?
