CatholicMom Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 If you're taking one, that is. Our last school day is June 30. We will take off all of July (except for reading) and the school year starts again Aug 1. :tongue_smilie: (In theory, anyway.) Not that I couldn't use about a year's worth of "break" :) but I think a 1 month break gives us a breather without making it soooo hard to go "back to school" after 2 or 3 months. When's your last day? How long are you taking off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3peasinapod Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Our last day was today for most everything, although next week we're tying up a few loose ends with 2 lessons in FLL left and 2 lessons in WWE. We take off June and then go back in July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happymomofboys Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 We should be finished by the end of next week (June 8th), and we'll have a little vacation before starting back up again July 9th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharilynn29 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 We finished today!!! We have a little math and reading over the summer, but won't start again until the end of August. I don't know how you only take 1 month off. I need my summer and my kids have way too many things planned. I'm excited for our vacation!!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrself Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Another one answering TODAY! Unless things change, we'll read and work on math facts over the summer and start back with school the first part of August. :tongue_smilie: Nicole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourcatmom Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Officially it will be next Thursday by 12pm. We will start back up sometime in August but we will do some math (computer or game) work a few days a week over the summer, at least that's my plan.

Jennifer L Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 We finished everything today that we won't be doing over the summer. They'll keep doing their summer work when they/we have time but I don't schedule when just pick it up and go. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohmomjacquie Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 We have one more week. Woohoo! Start back end of August early September. My kids have friends in ps. School in summer would be a battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingerbread Mama Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I'm hoping to keep us rolling along until the end of August and then take six to eight weeks off. I really want to enjoy pretty late summer weather while the rest of town is back in school. Bonus - we will have our pool basically to ourselves for five weeks! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alice Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 It's up to ds. I gave him a list of what he needs to finish before we go to a lighter summer schedule. He could be done by next week easily but we'll see. :) My boys do swim and dive so that 6 weeks is a bit crazy. We'll do reading and a few things during the summer and probably start up again sometime in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommee & Baba Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 We've been on "light school schedule" for a week now. We had a couple family hiccups and it threw us off our schedule by 2 weeks. I am trying to plan where we can take a couple weeks off of school prior to the new school year but my household doesn't do well with a month break. My kids will be doing Math, Reading, Spelling, & Handwriting through the summer months to finish up before this fall. Probably take a week off in July and a week off in August prior to starting our new school year. Our goal is to start our new school year August 13th.

QuirkyKidAcademy Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 July 31 is our last day of the 2011-12 school year. 2012-13 starts on Sept 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwjx2khsmj Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 We finished last Friday. We'll start back the day after Labor Day. Over the summer we'll read and listen to books, experiment with some art, take several field trips, do a little math review and swim, a lot. We'll also be keeping a garden, raising 125 chickens, 10 turkeys and 2 calves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boscopup Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I had planned to have our last day May 25, but it ended up being May 18 because I was just "done". :tongue_smilie: Plus we had finished a unit in math, so that was a good stopping point. Everything else didn't really have a stopping point worth mentioning. :) We'll start up again either end of June or beginning of July, depending on how much planning/organizing I've done, how clean the house is, and how much the kids are terrorizing each other because it's too hot to play outside. :glare: We prefer to take off more time in the fall and spring when it's nice weather. Just too hot here most days. The only thing we have going on this summer is cub scout camp this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PentecostalMom Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) Mine is "officially" today because we are moving. We have been schooling year-round but things will change with the move. I will still do reading and math during the summer but will drop everything else. Once we get moved and unpacked, I will probably start back with reading and math until school officially begins at the children's home where we will be working. My school year will be based on their schedule. Edited June 2, 2012 by PentecostalMom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lea1 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I had planned for today to be our last day....but then I got sick so it ended up being last Friday.:tongue_smilie: We plan to start again after July 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buram Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Our last day was yesterday! Woo hoo! We plan to start back the beginning of August. My dd6 wants to still do some school this summer just not as much. What a nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sillymommy Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Last day was May 25. We'll start again July 23 & school for about a month, then we're moving to Rhode Island! We'll take a few weeks to get settled, then watch out! We'll be swimming in history-ladened field trips! Woohoo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawno_momof3 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 TODAY!! Yippee!! :thumbup: We will start again the first full week of August. Although I do like to do lesson planning during the summer so I guess I'm not totally school free. The kids do enjoy the break though.

Mommy22alyns Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Whenever we finish our regular curric. That's been about a week or so. The girls do Summer Bridge workbooks and a little extra math over the summer. So it's more like a lighter load, I guess. I don't consider us year-rounders though. We'll start back maybe the second week of August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homemama2 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Today!! :party: We only had a half day. And then we celebrated by taking some of their friends to play laser tag and mini golf and now we're having a sleepover.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbbieJack Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Our last day was May the 10th as we had finished all of DD's curriculum. We are doing fun summer themed units now, along with informal read alouds by dd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missmoe Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 We are taking off from June 15--August 15. We will continue to work on math and spelling twice a week. And I plan to work through Sentence Composing with my ds. My favorite part of summer---sleeping in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeacefulChaos Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Our last day will be Thursday the 7th. We have a field trip Wednesday, so we only have 3 days this week. :) Granted, our days are short now. Once we finished up math they shortened (now we just do iPad math apps or xtramath online), and now we're done with everything except what I have listed below. We should only take about an hour a day or so this week. :D We start back July 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
