Tackle it Tuesday - Summer Survival Guide

I have wanted to create a binder for Jamison that is filled with activities and ideas of things for her to do during the summer. It would help Jamison continue her learning and also help Aunt Roni with ideas of what to do during the day.

I finally got it mostly done and I'm so excited.

Here's the cover.

Inside I have a routine for the day so that there's some structure. My kids need structure. Jamison's Kindergarten teacher also sent home some great items...a summer journal, writing pages, suggestions for activities, great ways to keep learning, etc. I eventually want to put some of those in page protectors (Target was out).

Here's another suggestion sheet for things to do at home.

I have a section in the notebook for handwriting. I found a place online where I can create writing pages for Jamison. Her school practices Dnealian handwriting and since most books I've seen have block lettering, this program works out great and I can personalize them. I also have a notepad in there that will help with spacing her letters.

This is the activities section. Each week I'd like to have a different theme. The first theme was space. You can read about a funny story regarding her study of the planets here.

So, for the most part the binder is complete. I will add more activities as the summer goes on and as Jamison comes up with suggestions. I'm excited that this has been tackled!
