the type of thing i'm looking for is worksheets and things to do in notebooks...

RESPONSE:

Worksheets on art? Worksheets on a foreign language? Worksheets on sports?

How incredibly boring.

Surely your kids don't want to do worksheets over the summer holidays.

Summer is a time for endless exploration, lying on your back in a field of daisies, blowing grass whistles, watching the clouds form and regroup.

Summer is a time to visit a museum, walk a freedom trail, plant tomatoes, hike through the Appalachians, visit a farmer's market (where migrants are speaking the target foreign language?), swim in a lake, bike to town, explore the local tourist spots.

Summer is time to chill, yes, but you learn so much about yourself while you're looking for things to do.

My God, Mom, don't subject your kids to notebooks over the summer! That'll kill all their curiosity and desire to learn for learning's sake.
