Summer has officially begun and we are embracing the change of pace it brings for our homeschool lifestyle. After completing our curriculum workbooks in April and balancing various activities such as baking, handwriting, gardening, and aquarium visits, we are ready for some summer fun! We've also managed to fit in end-of-year testing, dance competitions, a dance recital, taekwondo belt testing, and Kensi's 5th grade graduation. Whew! Can you tell we need to slow down?
This year, we've decided to create a summer bucket list, something we skipped last year. The kids have numerous ideas, but it's essential for us to balance fun activities with downtime to foster creativity. I know as a parent of five boredom can become bothersome, but it's nothing to be afraid of as it helps the kids use their imagination. Our list includes budget-friendly activities like pool visits and backyard movie nights, alongside short day trips to explore different towns.
We are eager to dive into our summer plans and would love to hear about your favorite summer activities. Finding that perfect mix of fun and relaxation is key, and we're excited for what's ahead this season!
