I have great respect for all the homeschooling mamas out there. While I'm not even entertaining the thought of homeschooling for real, I thought it would be fun to pick some topics to learn about this summer to prevent any regression before 1st and 3rd grade. If you follow me on Pinterest then you probably are already clued in to my plan. Great resources for education available on there by the way. Our first topic was baseball. The kids have been reading books, defining baseball terms, and drawing fields and stadiums. Of course we also got to take a field trip! We took our reading logs from the Smokies Summer Reading Program and exchanged them for tickets to the game on Wednesday night. It was so rewarding to hear the kids pointing out the different player positions, talking about what kind of a hit it was, and understanding what all the numbers on the scoreboard meant. They were seeing all of their knowledge put into action.
The books we read are listed below. They all came from our local library!
