So do you take the summers off from homeschooling? Is your family the kind that prefers to continue academics during the warm months? We typically take the month of June off and start back up with homeschooling in the month of July. In the past, we would take the entire summer off from school work and we would return in the fall with some learning gaps. The kids seemed to have forgotten some of the skills that we had previously covered in the spring and fall of the year before.
Although we don't stop learning and reading from July to August, we only do about 3 days of school per week. This type of schedule allows us to stay sharp minded, but still have free time to enjoy sports, camps, etc. So what works for your family? Share your experience in the comments. XOXO

Currently brainstorming on some ideas for classes that I may teach in the fall. Stay tuned...
This week my kids are reading Treasure Island. The classics can never be replaced and there are many lessons to learn from one book. Sometimes older books may contain language that was deemed "normal" to use at the time of the publication date, but are completely inappropriate to use in today's world. Just a heads up about those things. Here's a wonderful resource that we reference sometimes when looking for another classic to add to our reading list.
