What works in the summer???? Here are some of our
ideas.
Relax
- Start your days with no TV
- Start slow, finish chores
- Do school lite (a few less calories)
- Read a little, take extra trips to the library
- Take what's left to do to the pool for the afternoon
Follow a Unit Theme
Geography or State History?
- Make the appropriate museums a weekly priority
- Look for summer festivals that relate
- Keep a photo journal
- See what's happening in the National Parks
Music?
- Look for free music in the parks - libraries have the schedules
- Get a library book ahead of time to cover some particular aspect
- Keep a journal of the events and what was noticed there relating to what
was covered in the reading or other prep
- See what's happening at the Gettysburg
Nat. Park
Plant Studies?
- Garden
- Watch the bugs
- Check what Scout badges you can work for at MeritBadge.com
(Even if you aren't a Scout, these downloadable
pages are great unit studies!)
- Use the Nature
Centers in Montgomery County, Md.
- Keep those nature guides handy!!!
