Summer School and Spielgaben Schedule

Well for us Classical Conversations is over. It's 24 very intense weeks of school, so when it's done we are breathing a big sigh of relief. We absolutely love it and would encourage all to check them out. www.classicalconversations.com They are nationwide. I am not sure if they are overseas or not. (If someone knows let me know)
So now that it is over we are ready for our summer schedule. After working out how many weeks we have till we start school up again and taking out all the weeks for vacation and birthdays, we ended up with about 15 weeks. I came up with a rough schedule and showed it to my beloved. He helped me think through everything and this is what we came up with.
We will do school four days a week in the summer. Our goal is to only be in the homeschool room 1-2 hours each day. Now each kid has certain things they do so it wouldn't be 1-2 hours per kid but for all four of them to get their work done. I plan to continue math, reading, and Spielgaben through the summer with light review.
We will do Math two days a week. I think its good to keep them fresh on all their fact cards etc. Its amazing how quickly they forget. For the older two we will do phonics at least 2 days a week if not 4. Spielgaben will be done 2 days a week as well for all four kids. I was going to try to do everything everyday but we would be down there too long and not outside enjoying God's creation. We will also review our facts from Classical Conversations. I hope to review each subject two to three times over the summer.
And that is it for us. We hope to play outside as much as possible and learn through play and just enjoy the sunshine.
What are your summer school plans?
