Wait. I remember taking cooking once in summer school. (It didn't help.) And once I went away to an artsy camp I think. My memory is fading of that, but I do know I made one of those plaster strip masks of my face at the camp.
Unfortunately for my kids, times have changed.
Ever since we dipped our feet into homeschooling, learning just seems so exciting...and possible...and fun...and everywhere. And summer seems like the perfect opportunity for creative projects.
Remember the states the kids chose to read about this summer? Alaska and Hawaii. Polar opposites.
Really it turned into mostly Alaska. Isabela and I came up with a great idea to make some kind of a dog sled board game, and Joaquin ran with it. He forgot all about surfing the waves in High Tide in Hawaii.
And it really is a fun game. With easy directions. It's kind of a cross between Uncle Wiggly and Trivial Pursuit...only all the questions are about Alaska.
You choose a dog to start the race.
And follow the path around the icy, snowy lakes and across slippery rocks. There are short cuts and long ways.
First one to the finish, wins.
But beware...we know all the answers.
