A neighbor recently suggested that our older daughter stop doing "school" for the summer. I informed her that we will continue with our schooling...even while enjoying our summer break.
Just to be clear...we don't observe Summer Break at our house...is that wrong? Should I feel guilty? Should I relax a little? NO! NO! NO! I'm determined to keep our kids on the path of learning...throughout this fabulous, be it early, summer weather.
Besides, if I were to stop asking them questions, taking them places, and generally having fun with them...people would say that I wasn't doing my job as a parent. Well, I say "pooh" to summer "break/vacation" or whatever you want to call it.
What shall we learn today? How about a little reading...out loud and short "a" words on our own! (Go little one!) Drawing our lines that show movement and emotion. (But, mom...please NO MATH TODAY!)
