Summer's here! I'm proud of my kids for finishing their homeschooling well. We finished last Thursday. Now what? We have to be creative when we are overseas and there are few activities for children here. I plan to go and visit our local friends here more this month before Ramadan. Besides that, I am trying to brainstorm ideas for what my kids could do:
Hope you all have a great summer!
- Swim. We got a metal frame pool from a friend who had to go back to the U.S. The kids love it. Our roof is too rough so we have put it in our shower room where it just fits. It's a good thing we have two shower rooms. It's big enough that our kids can swim back and forth a little.
- Do arts and crafts. I bought some of Klutz books for the kids to do. They love them. In another post, I would like to post some good websites for art/craft projects. Does anyone know of any good websites?
- Play piano. I never got to teaching my kids piano during the school year. I have been trying to teach them a little.
- Summer reading. Maybe we can start a book club! If anyone knows of any good books, we can make a summer reading list. Those available on Kindle are especially helpful.
- Teach the kids how to type. I saw some websites for learning how to type which seem ok. I may just decide to buy some software if that is not enough.
- Read through the Kurdish reading books. I got these from the public school nearby but I never got around to having the kids read these. I want the kids to keep up with the language.
- Maybe get kids together and play organized sports or do exercise together?
Hope you all have a great summer!
