What About Learning During the Summer?

Trust me I know we all have this question, how can kids still learn but also have fun during the summer. Well guess what I’ve created learning lesson plans and a summer schedule for you as well. Likewise, I’m a mother myself so I know how hard it is to balance everything out. And I’m a single mother so my day is like super crazy with one child.

Not only-but also, it has everything already done for you in the lessons plans and the schedule is completely done.

EVERYTHING IS ALREADY DONE FOR YOU: ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PRINT IT OUT!!!!

Summer is right around the corner and the kids are going to drive you crazy. Trust me I know so I’ve created a Summer Learning Schedule that is done for you 5 Days of the week. Yes it has Monday- Friday of Daily Activities and learning schedule of all the different subjects, down time, body movements already done for you to use throughout the whole summer.

NOT ONLY DOES it has a schedule, I’ve also created lessons plans for you to use for your kids throughout the summer for all ages group. It has lessons plan details of all subjects, including bible lessons, bible activities, brain breaks, books to use, arts & crafts, and fine motor activities.

The lesson plans are created for all learners including visual learners, auditory learners, kinesthetic learners, reading & writing learners.

How Can It Help You?

In fact, I’ve used some of these lessons in my very own classroom for my students and I’ve used some of them for my own son as well during the summer breaks to keep him on the same schedule as school. And to increase his learning while he is at home so he won’t forget anything during the summer.

It’s very important to keep your children on a daily schedule or routine even while they are home for the summer. It’s also very important for kids to rest, have down time or nap time regardless of their age. I’ve listed different lessons for the morning, afternoon and evening as well to make it easy for you.

What Can I Do To Help You?

Mothers I know you need a break as well, so you should take time out to relax and enjoy yourself. During this time focus on your self-love and self-care journey. You can also read some of my books to increase your spiritual journey in life.

In addition to taking care of yourself, take time out to pray to find guidance to become a better person or mother. Always remember God loves you so much, be patient with your kids, regardless of how hard it may become. Give them time to get their energy off, have fun and enjoy life. Life is too short, so live the best life, make the best of it and always keep God first in your life.

I’m going to end with a prayer for your kids.

I pray that my child or children will find their purpose in life and become the man or woman of God that you have created them to be.

In Jesus Name I Pray,

Amen
