The days have turned warmer in many parts of the United States. A phenomenon known as 'Spring Fever' has already begun to bloom across the nation. You can see it's effects in the faces of those around town. The warmer temperatures and sunshine seem to cause brighter smiles and a perk in peoples' steps. Spring has just about sprung!
To do any school work with the outdoor wonder of Spring calling your name is almost a sacrilege to any school aged student, but it is nearly unbearable to the home schooled student. After all, we can't we please put it off for another day, can't we? PLEASE?
If your family is anything like our family, putting off has happened enough by this time of year. We really can't afford to do that too often any more this school year! So what are we to do about the loud beckoning of butterflies, birds and sunshine? Here are some ideas:
~ Have PE outside! FINALLY!
~ Spread a blanket and read under a tree or in the sun!
~ Do a nature study! Many topics now from which to choose.
~ Pick-Nick lunch! Just make sure you can get back to any school left for the day!
~ Field Trip!
Ask the students and see how you can fit 'school' into the outside and enjoy the Spring with out sacrificing the schedule. As a last resort - mark in BRIGHT BOLD letters on the calendar exactly when that SPRING BREAK will be coming for your family! At least there is a light at the end of the tunnel this way and you can count down the days to go!
