School is in once again for us. We school year round because I like to space out our breaks. The kids occasionally gripe about doing some school in the summer when their public school friends are out, but really, if we don’t start having some routine after a bit they are bored and cranky and argue more. It is too hot here for them to play outside during the heat of the day on the summer, so we may as well be inside doing school work.
I usually choose to do a unit study that includes the whole family over the summer as well as some basic workbook skills practice. Our summer school day is usually shorter and we take lots of field trips to do some of the fun summer stuff available locally.
This year, I really liked the Bible school materials from Answers in Genesis: Egypt Files. I wanted to find a way to use the VBS curricula for our summer study. So, I ordered the VBS started kit and used it to develop five weeks of material instead of the five days the VBS is designed for. Because the themes of the VBS are Egypt and the human body, I added an Ancient Egypt lapbook and human body unit study from The Old Schoolhouse Store to the mix. Here is my lesson plan:
