This is a link to my blog http://www.learningtoraindance.blogspot.com/ I am the mother of 4. This link will host items too big to put on my other blog - such as the summer activities below.
I hope you find the calander helpful. If you know a free activity that is not listed make sure you list it in the comments section under that week. Thanks for the help!
