Like a lot of homeschoolers, we don’t do a traditional summer break. But while we don’t stop our lessons completely, we do scale back and leave plenty of time for lazy hours by the pool and even a trip or two. So the general plan is a couple of hours of lessons and lots of lollygagging. And no regularly scheduled appointments!
