12 Week Summer Home School Program

The Sun Scholars Summer Learning Program is a fun, simple educational program designed specifically for stay-at-home parents and caregivers to use with their children over the summer months. Use the Sun Scholars Summer Program to enrich your child's summer, for summer school programs, home school, daycare activities, childcare co-ops, summer camp, and more. This program has been created with primary school children in mind, though you will find that these activities can be altered to fit the needs of all the children in your care, and can easily be used with a group of children of different ages. The goal is to keep your child's mind active through the summer, when skills learned in the previous school year are often lost.

My Guidelines:
I had some very specific requirements in mind when creating this program. Below are the guidelines that I used in developing this program.
- Allow users to fit into their own schedules and routines
- Challenge the child, but make it fun!
- Quick and easy activities
- Minimal set-up and mess
- Ease of use with various ages
- Activities that don't require 100% adult participation
- Ties into school curricular requirements
- Keeps kids using skills learned in the school year
- Allows the child to use their gifts and talents
- Supply list of common items around the home
- Inexpensive
- Keeps the child interested with a variety of activities
- A variety of interactive, hands-on activities

How it Works:
The Sun Scholar Summer Program consists of 12 weekly kits, each with a unique theme. Each week's kit has twenty fun and educational activities for you to share with your child, a list of any special materials that might be required, and the printables needed for the activities that week.
The activities are simple, easy to implement, inexpensive, and things you can easily incorporate into your daily routine. Most activities use items found commonly in and around your home. And we haven't forgotten about the learning opportunities in your weekly outings! Take your learning to the local park, your own back yard, or the grocery store!

Your Role in the Program:
You decide your level of commitment. Perhaps you want to spend 4 hours each week day teaching your children. Perhaps you find it difficult to find 15 minutes to dedicate to one-on-one learning experiences. You will find that many of these activities are designed to be easy to implement, regardless of the time you have to participate. Find a schedule or a routine that works for your family, and use as many of the weekly activities that you can manage to fit in.
