We’ve survived (and thrived) through 10 weeks of summer. One of the few things that got me through this season was finding a small activity or purpose for each day. I hope you found a few gems yourself and will continue to search for new ideas to share with the kids in your life, even when summer is over. Here are a few ideas this week as we say goodbye to lazy days and look forward to school in a couple of weeks…

The dog days of summer are definitely here! While the term, “dog days of summer”, actually stems from the position of the Dog Star, Sirius, during this time of year. Sirius rises and falls with the sun right now, and the Ancient Egyptians thought that this action is what made this time of year so much hotter. Whatever the reason, cooling off is on tap for this week!
