Strawberry 🍓 Schilling Summer School

by heavenstobetty, posted in Homeschool

Thanks to everyone who voted for their favorite summer school incentive currency in Summer Homeschooling 2023, you can read about our summer plans there.

“Strawberry Schillings” was the winner of the vote and the children are mostly excited about earning strawberry schillings to “purchase” items, treats, video game time, etc!

I found these adorable Strawberry Wooden Beads (feature photo) to use as strawberry schillings and provided a repurposed glass Oui yogurt jar for each child for faux currency storage. I’m quite pleased with how these look!

My top priorities for summer schoool are completing our math lessons with Teaching Textbooks and finishing up my oldest’s language arts lessons with The Good and the Beautiful.

Here’s our system with redacted names of minors.

Here’s our summer school store loaded with new books, a few games, and Hot Wheels cars.

I got some cute strawberry themed stationary items, because new Scented Pencils and Scented Stickers can’t hurt motivation levels!

At the last minute I decided to set up an ice cream family summer reading program. Each time anyone (including dad and mom) finishes a book they get to add a paper scoop of ice cream to the cone. When we get five scoops on the cone, we get to have ice cream! 🍦

Cheers to a great summer 2023 friends!

Happy homeschooling! 🍓 heavenstobetty
