We no longer technically homeschool over the Summer.

If you're looking for some simple ways to encourage learning over the Summer break...
Character.It is sooooooo hard to teach. Harder then math. Harder then science. Definitely harder then P.E. Character is on my TOP list of reasons why I homeschool. Character is a teach by example sort of subject. (ouch) Can I just say without any reserve that the Character has been lacking around here lately. (yes....I do realize what...
