We just hung around for the first few weeks of summer vacation.
I know I LOVED my summer vacations and just wanted to play with my friends and run wild.
But......I really think it's important Jake doesn't forget things he's learned and that he's ready for 1st grade in a few months.
So we grabbed a few summer reading and math workbooks, stickers, stuffed our pencil box with pencils, crayons, erasers and scratch paper and so it begins. (We found our workbooks at Barnes and Noble.)
One of Jake's favorites so far is estimating. Of course....because this involves treats.
Pretty close........
Sometimes, if a letter is giving him trouble---we go right to "Letter School". This app is incredible and has really helped Jake with his writing skills.
We don't spend too long each day with school work. A page of reading, math and a fun creative activity with language arts. Jake is usually finished in about 20-30 minutes. We read a few books each night too.
We never know what new activities are coming up next---(I try not to peek).
Maybe.....adventures, making photo albums, making up stories, drawing, creating cards.......so fun.
Of course......when each month is finished Jake gets a special treat.
In this case.......a visit to Lagoon or Boondock's.
He's so all over that.
