Summer Schooling!!

As many homeschooling families our summer is still very full of learning.  We school year round. although our schedule is a little looser during the summer.  Over the summer my goals are going to be listed below,  To save some time and to get the result I kind of want (them doing the work).   I make packages that includes math, language arts, reading, and any extra information I want to revisit.
Math- Each child will continue to work on their math skills.. And I will try to get Zach through his 8 grade math class.
Reading- Still working on teaching Aniyah to read (no real luck yet).  My older boys will be working on their list of classics.
Language Arts- We do had outs as a part of our daily package.  We are still playing games still with the site words,  Writing sturcture for the older boys,
Right now this is the extent of school for our summer.  We will take days off for bowling, golf, and swimming.
Please share what your summer schooling looks like !!

My struggling Reader!

So I've taken full ownership of my struggle (as I am sure many of you have), I wear it like a badge of shame a ugly cape for a very unsuccessful super hero.  I believe it is my fault that my daughter is not reading yet that at 8 she is not a strong reader.  I truly believe that there must have been something I could have done to help her get it better,  I go back and forth with the fact that maybe if she was in school with a real teacher helping her she would be a strong reader by now,,, I read somewhere the other day that "Struggle" shows that something is going on....Me being me I went and looked up the word struggle with new eyes.. Struggle is a verb It implies action It implies effort It implies giving all you've got. So I've come to understand that what this word means for me is that I'm not growing comfortable, that good enough is not enough for me.  That I am moving forward....  I am going to let up on myself and understand that eventually she will
