[quote=Anonymous]What I love on DCUM are the people who feel the need to come into a forum on a topic that for they are NOT interested and put down others. I guess it's that need to feel morally superior or something. Maybe we're feeding their anxiety. If so, don't read this! Back to the topic: I have never been really very disciplined about summer. Yes, we are a family that can afford to do different enrichment activities including all that were mentioned. I am though thinking about my children's summer learning more in a more focused way this year as they are entering transition grades. I want them to get off to smart start in September. There is research to support the idea of some academic loss after of a long break from school. I am not really advocating for a shorter break (I love summer), but I think to augment their activities with a little math, reading and writing, will serve them well. Keep on posting ideas and websites. I am taking notes.[/quote]
