Taking a break from homeschooling? ...that doesn't mean the learning has to stop!
It's hard enough to get the kids writing during the school year, but the summer? It is a good time for letter writing, to family and friends. Keeping a journal of family vacations is a good writing activity - turn it into a scrapbook with pictures and memories from the trip.
Here are some other ideas that you might try. I will be adding to this list all summer, so keep checking back.
