How much homeschooling will you do over the summer?

My kids will be in K and 3rd grade. I am not really worried about my youngest, but curious about what learning schedules/workbooks/apps you plan on using for your kids over the summer and how much time you plan to devote to it?

We get a set of summer bridge workbooks, and my kid does 2-3 worksheets a day to review and reinforce the material from the previous year. Any other enrichment is just in the course of the summer: museums, nature centers, reading, etc. Summer is for being outdoors.

None. They will just read and find other fun activities that they enjoy. They learned so much about so many things last summer and I actually miss that. My kids do not have a hard time learning material, but they are burned out on learning traditional school subjects.

Same as I always do - some spelling, some grammar, some handwriting for the younger one (older one is doing OK there).

I'm beginning to realize that the summer schooling isn't going to fix the grammar - I will have to correct papers all school year long. Wish the teacher did that.

+1. None, only summer reading and fun activities.

I will probably not end up doing much, but DS needs to spend more time with Math. I can really see where he has fallen behind his normal pact this year. I don't know if all of that is pandemic related- or if he is older or if his interests changed or whatever. But he has struggled with Math this year. I don't feel the need to accelerate him or catch him up to arbitrary benchmarks. But I do want to make sure we are proactive about dealing with this change to prevent it becoming worse in future grades. He has a tutor now he meets with once a week. I will likely continue that through the summer and attempt to work through a Math workbook for the grade he is currently in- as a review.

I have a current 3rd grader I am homeschooling this school year. I’m planning on stopping officially at the very end of May. Over the summer she will still have to read 3 mins a day ( at least) and do math a couple of times a week. That’s it.

My kids will do vocabulary workbooks and the khan math curriculum for the grade they just completed.

Do you mean 30 minutes a day?

Kids in K, 3 and 6 now. Probably nothing mandated this summer. I read with each kid 10 minutes a night before bed. I’ll go to the library once a week and get books that they want. My spouse is a teacher and will be off with the kids for the summer. I could see maybe a requirement to do something little before screens but I’m not really going to micromanage that.

We don't 'homeschool. They will play all summer, like they normally do.

Our usual amount, which means an hour a day for the rising 6th grader. My rising 11th grader will have summer school for the second year in a row, to get some graduation requirements out of the way so his workload isn't too heavy during the school year.

Hopefully you mean 30 minutes a day...

That isn't homeschooling.
