That isn't homeschooling.

Hopefully you mean 30 minutes a day...

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.

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.

Do you mean 30 minutes a day?

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

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.

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

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.

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?
