Would you believe it if I told you! Kyra (my one and only daughter) wakes up on her first day off from 2nd grade, first sleep in day and what does she ask for? Her "Summer Homework Packet" she wants to start working on it, I was so confused.
Yes she received a summer packet from school to be completed upon their return. Does anyone remember receiving Summer Packets? I don't, when did this begin? Isn't summer vacation, just that, vacation from school?
Anyways, yes that's what Kyra chooses to do on her first day off, I did praise her and applaud her but was terribly perplexed, does she really want to work on school work her first day off from it? she says it's fun, I say go nuts. Who knew Summer homework would be fun.
Than I thought, by the looks of it, she'll go through her packet in no time. Should I give her more school-like activities if she asks for it? or should I encourage her to simply enjoy summer free from any school worries like we all did..... what to do.
Than I remembered http://www.funbrain.com/. Kyra has enjoyed the many fun educational activities they provide . Check it out! I might as well be prepared, why not. Ya never know.
Cheers!!!

good for her. a little work and some summer fun is a good combination.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new blog, this is great! I wish adults had a little summer vacation too. Just a wee bit of the carefree fun we all had when we were younger and the biggest concern was "will mom make me go to bed before the sun sets?" Enjoy the summer : )
