So this question was posed to me tonight by Tracy: “Are you letting Bailey take next week off from school?”
Can you believe that I had not thought about it? Not even once! I was shocked. I know I have mentioned time and time again that T4L has saved our family from summer schooling because in the past, we took from Thanksgiving to New Year’s off because I just didn’t have time to prepare lesson plans and such. Then we would have to work well into the summer to make up for it.
Well we have been doing our T4L without stopping so far this school year. I mean…sure, we take an extra day or two off here and there, but it’s been wonderful not having that stress of “how far behind have we gotten this season?
I’m still floored that I have not thought about a holiday break. What shocks me even more, is the fact that my son is not counting down the days until he has a break! :o)
Since we are doing our traveling this weekend, instead of after Christmas, I think we will play next week by ear. I mean, we know Monday and Tuesday are out of the picture, but if I ask Bailey if he wants to log on later in the week and he does, there’s no harm in that, right? 
How is everyone else handling their holiday breaks? For the moms with public schoolers, are you going to let your children take a break from their supplemental T4L while they are on school break?

My daughter, who attends public school and knows all too well that there’s a break coming on, asked me just before the brake “Mom how will I do time4learning if we have no school?” I was happy to see that she was going to miss T4L during the winter break. We just took each day, one day at a time, and allowed her time to play with her siblings, other family members and when we needed down time or when the other kids were involved doing other things that were not age appropriate Natalie went online to do her lessons. We traveled frequently over the last week spending up to 8 hours in our van and stuck in traffic many times. This was one of those times when I wish I could access T4L offline. However, when we arrived at GrandPop’s house she immediately noticed that his computer was up and running and asked to go on T4L.
To Natalie, T4L is not so much about “education” as it is about the game and the feeling of accomplishment when she finishes her lessons. She gets very excited and always looks forward to getting 100% on her quizes.
Sounds like many of the kids here have the same feeling about this program. I am glad to be a part of this community.
Everyone, hope your new year is filled with love, peace, health and happiness!!
