Summer Preview - Hacking Third Grade

The summer will provide us with a variety of activities to work our way in to the sub-routine of homeschooling. That essentially means we don't have a routine, which is fine by me... though one might evolve. It also means he can whet his appetite on the things he wants to be learning as well as the things that emerge that I can steer him toward.

F will be at day camp on the days when neither parent is home and we're not out doing other things together. This camp is semi-structured with open activities -- all about choice and not being herded from A to B all day. It has stop-motion animation and filmmaking, chess and sports, outdoor play and all-day dance... I'm sure he'll find something to do and find his niche and he's very excited about it.

Meanwhile I have a membership at the California Science Center, and we have a full summer of camping and cub scout activities, and grandma wants him for some camping and beach activities... there will be a lot less Pokemon and a lot more "real life" going on for all of us!
