We always work through the summer. Even when they went to institutional school, I supplemented in the summer.

We are finishing up their math, so we can start the new books in the fall. For reading we are doing a cool project called Literary Pockets. We just started a geography unit study using Around the World in Eighty Days. Add in tennis lessons for John and swimming lessons for Ian and Owen and there is our summer.

My children's friends are no more available for weekday play during the summer then they are during the school year. I am one of only a handful of SAHMs with school-age children in our neighborhood (only 3 of us on my block). Daycare in the summer has a different name - daycamp. Most of the kids in our neighborhood go to the city's "daycamp" every day, every week of the summer.
