It's getting to the time of year where it's hard not to start thinking about summer. There is still plenty of the school year to go (and even more work than I have time for), but with the weather getting nicer, summer feels almost within reach.
For the most part, I don't like to make to many plans for the summer, and instead just let things happen as they will, but there are a few things I intend to do this year. First of all, I'm most likely going to be taking Driver's Ed with a friend, assuming the scheduling works out. I definitely plan on doing the library's Teen Summer Reading Program, like I did last summer.
If my dance studio offers summer classes for Irish (they did last year), I plan on doing those. I'm sure I'll keep going with the editing jobs I've been working on for the past year, and there is a possibility that I might be doing a little Latin tutoring to a middle school student in our homeschool group. I'm also planning on taking a camping trip to Oregon in July with several families we know.
My main goal for the summer is to avoid doing school, but whether or not that comes to pass really is going to be decided by how hard I work now. My goal is to finish as much as possible by the end of June, though I may end up with some things to finish up in July.
So, overall, I don't have a lot of summer plans, but if this summer is like every other, it will end up being plenty busy. I just don't know yet with what. :)
What are your summer plans?

Well, I am on the other side of the planning tree and I really plan out the summer with 5 kiddos. I do miss my lazy high school summers most of which I spent playing soccer all around California. I wanted to invite you to link up to the Finishing Strong Homeschooling Middle & High School: http://aspiredliving.net/2014/04/09/finishing-strong-middle-high-school-2/ it's great to see the homeschool world from the current homeschoolers perspective.
ReplyDeleteHi Monica, it's Jackie stopping by from the April Let's Homeschool High School Blog Hop.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is taking it easy this summer as well. We normally school year round, but we have lots on our plate right now, so taking a break from school is just what we need. Funny, even when you take a break from school, you really don't. Learning happens every day, which is awesome.
Hoping you have a fun and relaxing summer.
Joyfully,
Jackie P
