We do school year round in our house. But our summer schedule is much more relaxed then during the colder months of the year. In the summer, we have a basic schedule that we are free to disregard if we decide to spend a day outside in the sun instead. We sleep in a little longer, stay up a little later, etc. The only thing set in stone during the summer is morning devotional.
The day starts when everyone is up. At the latest, I let the girls sleep until 10AM, but we're usually up around 8AM. We get breakfast and wake-up enough to do our summer devotional routine.
Summer devotional starts with prayer and a hymn. Then I read from the scriptures to the girls for 10 minutes. Next we do our memorization boxes. Finally, we read from our movie book we're currently working on. That is the only part set in stone. From our movie book, depending on how we're feeling, we'll typically read anywhere from 10-45 minutes.
The rest of the schedule changes depending on the day, but follows this general format.
The older girls that can read do personal scripture study and from literature I have assigned them for about an hour, while the younger ones spend time reading scripture stories and picture books with me. If we already have our math curriculum for the next year, the girls do three lessons a week so they don't lose what they've already learned and have to relearn it in the fall.
We also like to do unit studies during the summer that coincide with fieldtrips we're planning or subjects the girls want to study. We've already done a Japan unit study this summer (I'll post about that later) and plan on an art one next.
When we decide we're done with school for the day, we work together to get chores done quickly and have lunch around noon. Then we have the rest of the day to pursue whatever perks our interest that day. Swimming, walks, water parks, arts & crafts, etc.
After getting the idea from another homeschooling mom in the community, we plan to also try to let the girls have more say in our daily activities this summer. At the beginning of devotional each day, after prayer, we want to let the girls each pick something they really want to do. We will try our best to work it in that day or week.
