Taking a break from homeschooling? ...that doesn't mean the learning has to stop!
Home economics can be great fun during the summer. Consider getting together with others to cook or sew. My daughter is getting together with a group of girls every week to work on projects and create some masterpieces in the kitchen.
Here are some ideas that you might try. I will be adding to this list all summer, so keep checking back.
