Summer is on the Horizon

We are in the home stretch! Only 9 days left of school and in 4 days my youngest turns 6 (where does the time go...eeek!). Unfortunately the weather is not cooperating with our dreams of summer. Texas has experienced a ton of rain these past few weeks and the weekend forecast just calls for more. It is times like this that I'm thankful I have no idea how to cook anything on a grill :)  

This past week in pictures:

                       

                        

We haven't picked up an ounce of after school work, but I am planning out summer lessons in any spare time I can find. We will probably slowly add in school work rather than take any time off this summer. My son has a trip planned with his father this August and back to school preparations may force us to cut the summer short. However, I'm hoping to school right through June and July without many interruptions.

I searched and searched and I could not find a planner that inspired me. Well, not one below $50. As a single mom, that is just out of my reach right now. So... I decided it was time to join the digital age.

Welcome to the line up.... Microsoft OneNote! I love that I can create a separate tab for each curriculum and then further outline plans for each week. The fact that these aren't dated makes it super easy to just pick up right where we left off. It also means that I don't have to rewrite a ton of plans if one week we only get to math and language arts.

I still love the feel of pen and paper, though. I may just create my own planner/journal of sorts to keep track of what we actually accomplish each day. I love any excuse to buy a new notebook!

How was your week? Any special plans this summer? Will you school through the summer or take time off to recharge?
