The Summer of Summer School
The theme for this summer, for me anyway, seems to be school. When the school year was coming to a close, I calmed myself with the thoughts of a summer “off” and maybe some time to relax and not think much about school. However, that is not the reality this summer, at least not for this home school mom.
I am now looking ahead to my daughters’ senior year in high school…preparing a graduation portfolio, completing our reading list, compiling our volunteer hours, and preparing my curriculum for this, the final year. Nothing can be left to chance and all requirements must be met. This is the year I thought I was waiting for, but, in many ways it will offer some new challenges.
My son also has a summer school theme going on, getting help with math and English this summer. My daughters also spent the last two weeks brushing up on grammar skills. There is just no escaping it, and there is SO much to learn.
Even I will spend some time in summer school of sorts. I am really looking forward to it! I get to do something new and different this summer, which I am sure will come with it’s own unique rewards and challenges…Camp Phoenix.
I love this YMCA Camp Phoenix mission statement:
Camp Phoenix strengthens the bond between families and learning through
individualized attention, exciting hands-on activities which embrace all styles of learning, and by providing positive life experiences in a non-exclusive, caring, multicultural atmosphere.
I could not be more excited about bringing my Storytime Yoga skills to YMCA Camp Phoenix!
