Summer Break!
[Summer Series Repost] Whether these two little words bring you feelings of panic or happiness, we probably all have to agree that we have to find a rhythm for our summer days so we aren’t overwhelmed by feelings of having too much OR too little to do. Our family has had summers of both those dynamics. There were laid-back summers when we didn’t have any plans and just went with the flow of whatever someone called us up to do in the morning or afternoon or evening. There were full summers when we signed up for all the things and packed it in from morning to night. Haha…just kidding, we’re the Moys, we never pack it in from morning to night. :p I (Joyce) am pretty much done peopling after a half day anyhow. But we did have some summers that were fuller than not. And…after finding out how much camps costs (we’ll have to budget for them in the future or use college funds), we have come up with our own flexible schedule for the three months we are “off” for summer (because you know we never stop learning!).
If you are local to us, you can join in on our “fun,” and if you are not local to us, you can survey your own friends to find out what activities they like to do and places they like to go and come up with your on summertime calendar ‘o fun!
Art Resources
For the afternoons, we have some art days planned. We will mainly be working through Home Art Studio (grade 2) this summer, but here’s a list of some of our favorite art resources!
- Art For Kids Hub
- *Home Art Studio K | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Holiday
- *Draw Write Now^
- *Ed Emberley books
We haven’t tried these yet, but have seen great things from their site and from others.
^We have the boxed set, but each book is also sold separately.
We will update on our projects from Home Art Studio here:
We have seen some amazing arts + crafts projects and Youtube is always a fun place to find tutorials, but since we don’t really have time to do all the things, please share your art pics with us! And we’ll be updating with pics from our mini-adventures!
What kind of art do you like to create? What other hot-afternoon-indoor activities do you enjoy?
