Fall Break

When I got the Sonlight box, one of the recommendations was to sit down with the calendar at the beginning of the year and plan out when you were going to be on vacation. It's a 36 week school year, but I don't think we're going to take the whole summer off. She likes school too much for that. So I scheduled a week off after every six weeks. This week is fall break. It's been really nice. She still asks to do some things, so we're keeping up with her favorites- Bible and math. But I'm letting her decide what we do, because she's on vacation. It's nice to give ourselves that luxury and not feel guilty about being behind. It's on the calendar that we're taking a break and has been since we started school. I'm so glad I did that, because it's been quite a change to get used to doing school every day and I was ready for a break even if she wasn't.
