my summer vacations
Summer vacations are always considered to be the reason of joy and happiness for the children as they eagerly wait for these vacations from the start of spring in the late April. Summers generally are considered to be unpleasant and undesirable for people but the most attractive thing is the long vacations which are enjoyable for the children. Each person has a different way and style of spending their holidays away from the regular school and study routine depending upon their life style.
I wanted some rest and also some refreshment. Hence I put aside my books for a few weeks. I indeed did not have any great plans for my holidays since we were not going out of Mumbai but had to spend the holidays in the city itself and more over taking into account the hot and humid climate during the day time.
I usually didn’t have any fixed routines during my summer days. As a child I used to spend hours playing ICQ or computer games. Or enjoy sleeping throughout the day. Or go for an outing, summer camps, etc.
I used to start my day with a refreshing walk in the morning in between the greens at the central park. After bath, either I used to go to play with my friends, or read some interesting novel or play on iPad. During my holidays I used to sometimes attend or you can say very often attend some classes to enhance my knowledge skills. I and my friends used to have overnight stay in each other homes. At times we even had “kid’s pool party”. Other than simply spending the hours at home, we used to play outdoor games like cricket, badminton or football to take care of our physical well-being. In between for a few days I used to attend family gathering with my cousins and relatives it used to generally be some ones birthday or just a casual holiday gathering.
Of all the vacations in my life, this was my best summer vacation ever, mainly because I had spent a lot of time with my friends and cousins. These holidays I had collected memories for a lifetime.

    I didn’t really do much over the summer. We went to Indiana beach, and I am not too fond of roller coasters, or any ride for that matter, except for at water parks. Last year in 7th grade we went to Washington D.C and saw the washington monument, lincoln memorial, we went inside the Capitol building, The Changing of the Guard at Arlington cemetery, saw The White House. That didn’t really interest me, I don’t even have any souvenirs! Even earlier in the year, we went to Buffalo, New York. We saw a football game (the team we were rooting for lost,(TO THE JETS!) and we got to see Niagara Falls.…

    were satisfied with their child’s school experiences (Shields 9). For over 100 years, most schools have adhered to a traditional summer vacation schedule which stemmed from our primitive technological resources and advancements. However, as technological growth was made schooling throughout the year became more practical and thus the concept of a year-round schedule was introduced. With year-round schedules now becoming ever more prevalent and traditional schedules becoming slowly obsolete, a debate has sparked between the merits of the two. This debate has involved comparing the different advantages and disadvantages of the two schedules. While a traditional summer vacation may…

    The younger me loved to be active and constantly moving around but as i grew up I started to enjoy times that were quiet as well. The few activites i liked to do and still do now is play soccer, go bowling, read, and going for bike rides. As a little kid and teenager, my cousins and I use to do a bowling day which was very intense since we are all competitive. I never and still don`t ever win because I suck at bowling but it's always a fun day seeing some of my cousins for some friendly composition and to see who will hold bragging rights. Also, when i was a kid my mom and I use to go for bike rides on the trail into erin to get ice cream from baileys ice cream shop.

    The traditional school schedule is out-dated. Summer vacation finds its roots in farm life. In years past, children would attend school in the months that parents could spare their help. When school let out for the summer, many students would trade in their formal education for one more practical, yet just as important. The schedule made sense then, but fast-forward to today’s society. Less families farm and the ones that do don’t rely as heavily on manpower, especially their children. Those who oppose year round schooling argue that summer camps and family vacations are an important part of growing up and would be missed if summer vacation were done away with (“Leave Those Kids Alone: The Case For Long Summer…

    As kids, we love those three months of summer vacation where we can forget about those math problems, or that science project. But is it really helping us? According to nayre.org, the Director of John Hopkins University for Summer Learning claims that 2.6 months of learning are simply lost during the summer months. (Priddy) In order to make up for the learning loss, teachers must take time to refresh their students’ memories, and review past lessons instead of furthering the students’ knowledge by moving forward. (complex/periodic sentence) All of the time spent reviewing and reiterating past lessons is time lost, and takes away from the students’ total education. Having school year round eliminates this problem and allows for…

    School year round. Almost every kid in America dreads those three words. As soon as someone says that, a kid automatically thinks, no breaks, no summer, no fun. I would too if I didn’t know anything about it. But since I do I don't really mind the idea. Sure, it would take away the meaning of summer and everything you are used too but….

    Students need a break from all the stress about test and quizzes, and homework and studying. The students deserve a summer to refresh and take time off from school. In another person’s opinion, long summers cause kids to forget things that they have learned. They are wrong because, although some kids do forget there is a way to keep them working their brain. One way is to take them to camps. There are many camps for different subjects. Studies show that a student over…

    The third reason is that more and more schools are abandoning year round schooling calendars. For instance, according to a poll from www.youdebate.com, Prince William County in Virginia returned to a traditional calendar after 9 years operating year round schooling. The reason is that teachers found students made less academic improvement in summer school, as well as few cost benefits and parent reaction. They discovered there were not enough advantages to outweigh the disadvantages. In fact, most people think that summer is a time to relax and learn new knowledge from places out of school such as museums and nature, but not keep studying at school. (stop)…

    In addition, my grandparents planned a lot of activities to keep us amused. We and our friends used to go to the beach every morning, and sometimes we went in the afternoons too. We played a lot of board games such as dominoes, canasta, continental and monopoly. Also, we used to play outdoors. For example we did races, played hide-and-seek, and took refreshing hose showers at the backyard.…
