When we do homeschool for fun (not through our charter homeschool days) we tend to use themes. One summer we did a world tour, "visiting" a bunch of countries/continents. Last year we did Shakespeare. This year we're thinking of a time travel tour. That way we can pull in whatever topics we really like but it's part of a fun experience that lights a fire and gives us some structure. DD has always liked themes like this, and it also motivates me to do the fun ideas TODAY instead of relaxing to the point of getting all blah as we say. I don't like sitting around. But my kids are still young enough to need me around all day.
We're also starting a drama club with friends. And we might do a class with a great drama teacher, too.
We're going to take a break from dance to try gymnastics.
