Summer is a time…….

when I feel like I can really kick it into gear with a learning schedule.    The review items are less and we get a chance to use the items that got put on the “back burner” more regularly.  The public school things we are involved in are out.  The days are warmer and I don’t feel like living in sweats. 

We have quite a few fun trips planned.  Those are hard to keep up on.  So we are going to keep our daily school schedule light and flexible.  I still need to have a schedule in order to fulfill my need for some type of organization.
