Summer Homework

[geniusofevil]

Ah summer, I love it so much, yet at the same time if I had to trade it for year-round school I wouldn't even hesitate.  I'm not a fan of the summer slide.  In years past I've gotten the kids bridge books and had them read 20 minutes a day but they didn't like it and we usually stopped doing it midway through.  Because I am lazy

I think this is GREAT. When we did stuff over the summer, mom always took us to historical monuments or museums and we would be expected to talk about them and all.

Rock on!

Shit, we just threw dirt clods at each other and got stuck in half built houses. And I don't think my mom ever expected me to talk, lol!

It's a cool idea. Good luck with it.

I paid my kid for the book he wrote.

I may have to go that route. Learning is so much more fun when you're older.

Hmm. My summer work was something like yelling, "One, one, let's have some fun!" just before jumping into the pool. That counts as math, right?

that's pretty much what this is turning into, but I had the plan so that's all that counts, right?
