Our boys are such entrepreneurs. Our elementary is offering summer school to the kids K-6th grade and they added a perk that interested them. They would go M-F from 8-3:30 for the entire month of June. That is 45 minutes longer each day than Caleb and Jonathan go now. The morning session is all academic (reading, math, language arts, spelling) and the afternoon are clinics (mad scientist, history fun, PE, art). They can ride the bus to and from and would be at the newest elementary school in our district close to our house.
The reason they are going - $100! Yep, they basically get $5 a day just for attending. If they do not miss one day, they earn $100. If they miss one day, $75 and 2 days $50. They are going to combine their earnings to buy an XBox 360. They couldn't be happier!
I convinced Joshua to go and try it out. He has not ever been in public school so he is a little nervous, but his friend from FCA, Chancellor will be joining him. If he ends up loving it, we may try him next year there. Otherwise, we are going to homeschool.
Ashlyn and I are already filling our schedules with work out time, painting projects, pool time, and TV time. Looks like we will be soaking up the sun with our female dog companion Bear boyless. Their summer break will be reduced to 6 1/2 weeks, but I think that will be nice. They usually get bored by August, so I think this will be great. I'll keep you posted...
