Have you noticed that it's S P R I N G!? As Fred Flintstone would say, YABBA DABBA DOOOO!! We all have that wonderful fever around here. We don't want to "do school" or stay inside either. Let's get out and get in the sun! It really is hard for the kids to stay focused and ya know, their teacher isn't any better at getting school started on a sunny day. I could say we school outside, but most of the time that doesn't work for us because none of us can concentrate. So what do we do?
We find field trips to count for school and instead of homeschooling we do van schooling from time to time. Those little minds are clicking right along and my thoughts are running wild thinking, "Hurry up, understand this so we can get D O N E!" Have you ever been there, done that? I'm sure you have. Last week we went to the zoo with great friends and this week we are going to a rock climbing place. We also have field day tomorrow with our home school group. This is my favorite time of year. I am on top of the world! The long winter is behind us and warm weather is here (for the most part) and we only have a few more days of school (hoping to be done by May 15). I love summer break. Some home schoolers school in the summer, but not us. We love the pool, hanging out with friends, and finding those frugal fun things to do outside. There's so much to do that is free or CHEAP! At my kids ages, they aren't picky about what to do and they still enjoy being with their family.
So, go find some time and go outside, it's going to be a beautiful day!
