Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

We have done both. I find it best to keep some things ticking over (eg Math - 2 months without math is not good for my children!) and it takes the pressure off the following year.

This year we will be concentrating on:

- Going through all chores to make sure everyone remembers how to do them well
- Reinforcing manners and etiquette and household rules and courtesy
- for devotions we will go back to Our 24 Family Ways
- lots of reading
- Summer Olympics and China Unit studies
- listening to books on CD
- watching good family movies

The only schooling that happens here during the summer is catch up work by anyone who has not finished her math program for the year yet. I try to have our evening literature read alouds continue through the summer, but that is difficult on the nights when the kids are out playing with the neighborhood kids until it gets dark. (Or even after it gets dark, sometimes.) So it isn't a daily thing during the summer.

It was strange to see a response I could have written already written. I ditto just about everything Marilyn says.
