As for the Florida heat, we migrate inside during the summer months. We do nature study in the other seasons. My mother gives us an annual pass every year as a gift. The summer is a good time to explore all those places that are cool, figuratively and literally speaking. Our school year starts July 1, and we school all year.
Indoor projects are the focus for the summer.
This year we are building a model of Noah's ark, making mummies and mudbricks, and building Moses' tabernacle. In the spring, we'll hit Greece and Rome. Then we can dress in togas and eat outside like they did in New Testament times. Reader Rabbit, JumpStart, DollHouse. My husband is the Information Technology Director with his company, so we have two computers and computer stuff everywhere.
