What we try to do is spend some time outside in the morning before it gets too hot or in the evening when the sun has gone down.<br /><br />I also enjoy being able to be much more flexible with my schedule at other times of the year---it gives us the ability to take advantage of opportunities that come up unexpectedly. And to enjoy Daddy when he gets a few days off.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06710205217819146347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53873677645881723.post-76129081028488773192010-04-29T06:31:44.357-06:002010-04-29T06:31:44.357-06:00It sounds like you've got a schedule down pret...It sounds like you've got a schedule down pretty good for summer. You're right about being too hot. A reason I wanted to hs thru summer when we lived in Arkansas was because of the unbearable heat and time indoors...what else to do but learn? Alas, my kids wouldn't buy into it, and we continue our summer break. Some years they have lost some over the summer, but quickly pick it right back up in Sept. And other years, like this year, they were fine. I guess it just depends on what we're learning! That's the beauty of homeschooling, though, being able to set your own schedule. Great post! I enjoyed reading what you do!Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13927604807073799683noreply@blogger.com
