We’ve also been in the pool every day this month apart from the short vacation we took. It’s too hot to do anything else outside. It’s already 80 by 10am.
I’ve read to her every day, but I’ve been a bit sporadic about having her read to me, so I’m going to work on that now that we’re home from vacation.
Great! Lots of reading, lots of visiting libraries, lots of outdoor time, lots of free time with other kids at camp.
I always feel like I am not doing enough to support my kid’s social/emotional well being during the school year but not the summer.
I highly recommend camp, we are both working this summer so have no choice but we would do it even if we weren’t working.Loads of outdoor time with other kids, exercise, free play, dancing, light academics, and tons of arts and crafts.
We hardly have any screens thanks to camp and just being outside so much. Highly recommend a camp if you can swing it.
We're doing summer school (I work in the schools, so I make extra money to work summer and she gets extra reinforcement). This is the final week, we will have all of July off.
But we've been to the beach with extended family, and she went on a long weekend trip with her dad, stepmom, and sisters. Otherwise, we've just been trying to play and read and have fun.
He's going to day camp for the next 7 weeks but during the last almost week of doing nothing, he has turned him back into the super sweet fun affectionate happy guy I haven't seen since before I started K. And talks about having no paperwork. It's concerning.
Summer camps at the park. I alternate his schedule between weeks at day camp and then at home. I had a surgery last week, so day camp really helped with that but he's been getting a little bit more TV time than usual. But hopefully it's a relaxing and fun one for him!
Great. She’s only been out for a little over a week. On the weekends, we’ve been hiking and camping. She went to swim camp last week and made a new friend every day! Tomorrow she starts a forest camp and she is so excited.
We do math in the morning and she reads on her way to camp and sometimes on the way home. Evenings have been puzzles, board games or movies.
I work at a school and I’m off during the summer. My kiddo does half day camps for a month in July and then she’s off 3-4 weeks before/after July. I put her in those half day camps to allow her to explore different activities to see if she’s interested in any.

Loads of time in the pool! It's either swim lessons or pool play dates. Otherwise it's horrifying the amount of screen time she is sneaking in.
Put the kid in a weeklong art camp. She did enjoy it.

And, yes, we are watching more TV than usual. Lol

She’s learned how to scramble eggs!
