School break

It is officially Christmas break from school. Cheng is home, Austin is home and Connor is home. Oh boy. Luckily, Cheng has basketball games all week, Austin has indoor track, and Connor has Tae Kwon do. For Christmas Connor received $67.00 cash, and today he wants me to take him to the bookstore to spend it all. Yes, Connor wants to buy $67.00 worth of books!! That, to him, is pure joy. In the meantime, I have received two phone calls from Connor's friends' moms, wanting to know if Connor can play. If you read the previous post, you know that I like it when Connor has friends, but I also feel like we wasted school time when I let them come over to play. Since it's school break, I suppose I will have to arrange at least one play day for Connor. Today is not going to be the day though. I have to take Cheng to basketball and then pick up Austin in Rochester, then take Connor to Tae Kwon do, then pick up Cheng again. Too much running around today. I also want to return a few Christmas mistakes and go to the bookstore. So, to answer the question, does Connor follow the school calendar. Sort of. Right now he is practicing guitar and he'll read at least half the day. I just try to unschool during school breaks. That means that Connor is still learning, just not with my direction.
