Summer Workboxes

‘Tis the season…

Summer homeschool.

Before you think I’m the mean mom, forcing my kids to the kitchen table, you should read this. 🙂

****Yes, this is common core aligned, but no, I have not turned to the Dark Side 😉 (I was so proud of myself for that joke…lol…). We are focusing on using the boys’ interests as natural motivators per our autism therapy so I thought I’d try it out for the summer. With two of the kids going back to public school in the fall, I figured what the heck.

8. Nature Study
We’re doing a monthly garden sketch and weekly trips to the backyard or park to sketch nature things we see. It’s really just about observation and enjoying creation.

9. Reading
Star Wars 1st Grade & Bob Books
Star Wars 2nd Grade & Level 1 or Level 2 Readers

Do you use the workbox system? If so, do you fill them in the summer?
