Thinking Thursday Ideas

Here are a few tips before you get started:

Plan ahead.

Thinking Thursday goes best when you take a little time to plan ahead. My goal this summer is to have a gameplan set on Sunday. This will help you be able to make sure you have what you need.

Let go of expectations.

For this day I like to remind my kids to let go of expectations. Often things will not go as expected. An experiment may not work or a project may be challenging. We go into this day knowing we will need some patience and I will need a lot of grace!

Ask your kids for ideas.

Take a moment and ask your kids if they have any ideas! They may have some great projects they want to try out!
