We actually completed our Pre-K-4 year officially earlier this month. I will likely continue using tasks and activities from our themed Pinterest boards, so you will see more links pop up as the next school year starts up.
We are spending the summer in "maintenance mode," practicing learned skills so that we don't regress over the short (month long, approximately) break, and also assessing what skills are strengths and which skills need a little more work, so I know what to focus on in the coming year.
We're changing our format slightly next year...we will still be doing lots of hands on activities, but I want to try to shift a bit more towards workbooks since Bu is at an age where writing practice is appropriate. Ideally, each work day will consist of some workbook task (no more than a couple pages a day of simple, skill-appropriate work), a hands on activity, and some sort of "technologically" geared activity, whether that's an educational video or time on ABCMouse/Time4Learning.
I started an instagram for this blog so I can post more frequently in an easier format...feel free to follow along!
I've also got quite a summer reading list for myself, in preparation for next year's schooling. I'm hoping to share book reviews and my thoughts on the books I've read and let you know if I have found them helpful in our journey. This is what I'm reading this week. It's a short read, as it's mostly examples of task boxes...I think I'm going to be implementing a lot of these ideas for our hands-on activities :)
I will also be sharing general Disney World, planner, convention, etc sort of stuff on that instagram account...basically, everything I already share here!
Hope to see you there, and hopefully things calm down around here soon (summer schedules and all) and I can go back to updating the blog regularly!
