summer routinue/afternoon homework time
 
We still have some school work to finish up for our 'year' and then need to stay caught up with a few things over the 'summer'. It's getting super hot early this summer - 100 this weekend. I want to plan our days out in a way that gets us outside in the morning before it's brutal with time set aside in the afternoon for homework. I'm not sure how to make this transition anything less than a pulling teeth argument every single day. It's not like we have a good routine or any structure successfully going on right now, but it is generally understood that we do homework in the mornings and play outside in the afternoons. N doesn't nap any more, on days we're out of the house the entire day is occupied with that or recovering from that, I don't have good transition skills.

Does anyone have a routine they'd be willing to share?

When ever I loose track of the morning I always try to sit down to lunch with everyone and then try to move forward with school after lunch.

Do you think you could propose it as a flip with your kids because of weather? So so you start your morning routine of what everleads in to school after breakfast now after lunch?

Maybe outside quite early and then back inside and do one thing before lunch and one right after.Are there audios involved they could listen to during lunch? Would try and have at least one day a week a free day

Definitely anchor school to lunch since presumably they are already sitting at a table eating. I used to implement a quiet time every summer afternoon. To be used for reading or drawing or something else you can do alone and quietly. It helped with bickering to make them be alone for an hour or two.
