Your organizational plan is kid-perfect. My children are older now, but I still struggle with providing the right amount of structure and un-structured activities. A nice article on providing academic structure is found at http://penningtonpublishing.com/blog/study_skills/summer-daily-brainwork/

These are fantastic and right along the lines of what we're doing. I do try to plan one "field trip" a week and we have one activity per week with my local mom's group. My mom's group outings include tours of the local pizza parlor, grocery store, fire station, and pet store (the pizza place just asks that you buy a slice of pizza and the rest are free). And our "field trips" are to places I already have a membership - Aquarium, science museum, state park. I also have chores and workbooks/educational activities the boys need to do to "trade in" for time on the PS3. And we go to the pool almost every day!

What a great list for covering all of the aspects of the summer! I work part-time, so we have found a great babysitter for June, and my son will go to a social skills programs for July and part of August. We are also planning a trip to see my family in the Midwest - it feels good to actually have things lined up this year. I need to sit down and make a list of the specific goals I have for my son this summer. We need to cover some of the social stuff he will encounter in first grade that is still challenging for him, and work on following directions without whining and arguing, but we are also going to have a lot of fun time and be outside a lot more than in the past. So glad to have found your site! Trish @ Another Piece of the Puzzle’s last blog post...To-Do Tuesday - Week Sixteen
