We are celebrating our last official day of school today. So, now I can start thinking about our summer plans. We have a great summer in store, but there will always be a day where the kids say they are bored and I want to be prepared. Most of the boy's friends are going back the the States or travelling for the summer, so I need to keep these kiddos busy. We will be traveling for 3 weeks out of the summer, so that leaves us about 30 days to plan activities for. International schools have a short 2 month summer break. Here is our list of what we hope to accomplish this summer. I also have and adult version for all the fun things I would like to do.
Visit the library a couple times a week- Have a picnic at a park
- Spend the day at a water park
- One on one date with each of the boys
Visit a floating marketGo to the art museum downtown- Ride the BTS with the boys
Teach the boys to make a pieTeach the boys to make their own lunch- Go to children's library downtown
- Finish reading 6-8 chapter books to the boys
- Tye Dye shirts
- Go to Art in Paradise- Bangkok (3-D art museum)
Water Balloon Toss- Make popsicles
- Make homemade pizza
Stay up LATE having a movie marathon- Visit the monthly farmer's market
- Have a science night with friends
Ice skating at the mall- Make muffins for our neighborhood helpers: Guards, coffee lady (she helps me), street sweepers,etc
- Have 3 country themed meal, learn about the country and watch a movie on the location

ReplyDeleteHi Samuel! Nice to meet you. So great to hear from other homeschoolers in Thailand. We are the only ones in our area, so sometimes I feel like we must be the only homeschoolers in Thailand :) I use a variety of curriculums for the boys. If you check the Homeschooling tab at the top of the page, I have what we use listed for each of my boys. I will be updating soon for the next school year. If you live around Bangkok, get in touch! Thanks for commenting!
