Summer Plans
With the summer looming so close, I am not sure who is looking forward to summer more, me or the kids. Me because then I won't have to be the mean school teacher anymore. Or the kids because hey summer is full of sleeping in and lots of swimming. Well I guess I have been feeling guilty about not  making school fun, so I have this weird idea of having a few themed weeks of 'fun' for the kids. I have been brainstorming ideas and themes. Initially I want to plan about four weeks of activities, and if its not to hard and the kids seem excited then I will plan another four weeks. Of course when I say a weeks worth of activities I mean only 4-5 days worth of fun. Any more than that and it won't be fun. I plan on getting four empty boxes and filling them with all the supplies that the week will require and getting most of the prep stuff done before the week begins. I;m not sure what to call this adventure, but it will come to me somewhere along the way. So here is my list of ideas, each idea chosen from this list will have its on blog post with links to activities or resources.
