Summer Book

After reading Sherri's post on summer structure, I wanted to share one of the "tools" on my "tool belt" for summer - the awesome resource known as the Summer Book. It is a wonderful workbook to use as reinforcement and review of the past school year. We used this last summer and it was a hit! Honestly, each day takes about 15 minutes and, since the work is review, it is easy. I like keeping the brain working throughout the summer and this workbook makes it simple.

What about you? How do you structure your summer?

My Summer Structure

1. Survive the initial "What do we do now?" syndrome by explaining that Mom is not their summer camp counselor and that's why I bought those new legos at the yard sale.

2. Send them to Camp Grandma, China Camp, and camping.

3. Start school all over again.

I love Carson Delosa's Summer Bridge books. You can get them at Lakeshore Learning Store in Windsor Square. They have a great motivational section and are broken down into sessions.
