Summer is almost here and I am planning on keeping the kiddos busy during the [long] weeks and days of summer. In the past I’ve had a “summer fun bucket” that they could choose from. This year I have decided to try something new and assign themes to each week and plan something accordingly. It may be a day trip or a fun project or a chance to learn something new. This months themes are Park week, Earth week and Sports week. Check back to see our plans in July and August, and whatever you choose it is sure to be a good time.
