Third Friday of the month: Recreation / Art / Sports
It's officially summer break - well, at least for my boy. My girl still has a culminating program and moving-up day on Tuesday. But all of us are already psyched for vacation time, which means staying up and waking up a little later that usual, no more homework, more play time, lazy days at home, and a chance to learn a new skill, a new sport, or dabble in arts and crafts.
Personally, I'm not keen on sending my children to take academic enrichment programs, summer break or not. They do academics during the school year already and I want our vacation (yes, it's ours 'coz I take a break from tutoring too) to be free from "studying". I prefer them to explore and enjoy the arts, learn a musical instrument or sport/s instead, and attend classes up to 3x/week only. I simply want them to have fun, relax, de-stress, and forget about schooling, at least during the break. But that's just us. Some families can make it work for them, having a packed week and still have time to travel and relax. That's not bad at all. To each his own.
