Summer Homeschool Fun Planning

  

There is nothing like a trip to the beach to get your family excited about summer and a homeschool mom brimming with ideas for a relaxed and fun summer school. We will not be taking any significant breaks other than trips to the beach or pool and the free family summer movies at Regal Cinemas.

As I ponder the summer ahead and get filled with excitement for the fun studies we plan on doing I just had to share and invite you to join us. Inspired by this blog  The Young Florida Naturalists Guide Blog and it’s chapter challenges on nature study in Florida (see book below that I requested from the library) I am going to attempt some of them along with a FREE oceanography study by Christian Cottage Unit Studies. 

I requested the following books from the library to aid in our studies and outings:

 

We plan on “attempting” to visit different places we learn about and keep a notebook. Our hope it to end our studies in September with trips to Lowry Park Zoo and the Florida Aquarium that are included with your Mosi membership with free admission during the month of September. Mosi is also currently showing Imax 3D movie Under the Sea. Visit the website for fun lesson plans, games, video webisodes and behind the scenes footage. I am almost done with my plans for our summer school. Check back this weekend to get some inspiration for fun family learning activities.

 

Happy Schooling!

Sneaky, $-Saving, Easy, and Healthy Breakfast

I love Walmart. They have added more organic and whole foods to their aisles. My kids favorite breakfast is cereal. It’s fast and easy. But with four growing kids it’s not the healthiest choice or the most affordable. When Kashi is on sale I stock up and with those savings I’m able to buy soy or organic milk more often. I have started mixing the cereals with fiber rich whole grain cereals. They last longer and are healthier and more filling. Add some sliced bananas, raisins and or strawberries and you have got a winner boht in your wallet and thier tummies. Try my favorite mix pictured above! Let me know if your family likes it or some of your ideas.

Happy Eating!
