Well, it's time to decide if we will have some school through the summer. I have been pondering this and have decided to do a limited amount of work this summer. I was thinking it would be good to try and do more fun stuff, especially with reading. My son is not a big reader. He reads just fine, but it is difficult to get him to willingly sit down and read a book. Funny thing is that once he gets into a good book he really likes it. However, that has not been enough to get him to voluntarily pick up another good book to read. I was going to try and get him to read the Harry Potter books, but now that he has seen the movie I think reading the books would not be as exciting. I will have to look around for some fun reading for us this summer.
We will also have to keep up on his math and writing as these are his trouble areas. But, I am going to try to keep it light and enjoyable. We could both use the break.
