Enjoying Summer!

Hi5!

'Enjoying Summer!'
Yippie!
Today is the last day of school!
Yes, we enjoyed a productive, fun and informative school year.
Now, is the time of the year when we let our son TAKE CHARGE!

• sleep late!
• stay up late!
• eat candy!
• go to the movie-theater during the week!
• sleep-over on a weekday!

Yes, we know, ... still focus on:

1. Speech/Language
2. Penmanship
3. Occupational Therapy techniques
4. Adaptive Physical Education skills
5. Sensory Diet
6. Socialization & Peer Engagement development enhancements
7. Numbers: Addition & Subtraction
8. Counting: - Money, coin recognition, amount and spell

Will pick 2 days a week for this, especially since our son is entering the Extended School Year Program in preparation for Kindergarten.

But, on the other 5 days of his Summer weeks,

Here's some of our 'Enjoying Summer!' list of activities:
