Maddie is sick of home school!
Jon is sick of home school!
I am sick of home school!
Yesterday was awful, but to be fair, it has been building up to an explosion since just before spring break. I was hoping that the vacation would help reset our minds and hearts and that we would all come back excited about school again. It didn't work. If anything, we were worse after the break because it was that much harder to get going again.
Home schooling is not all fun and games and playing. It is hard work that usually demands from all of us a lot of patience, love, perseverance, and hard work. Lately it is taking about 50% more than any of us have.
Today we did a reset, and I'm hopeful it will help get us through the next six weeks. We started the day making a poster of all the things we DO love about home school. All four of us sat together and created a bit reminder for the times we need to see why we are doing this.
- Art
- Playing
- Awesome field trips
- Riding Bicks (bikes)
- Snuggling with cats
- Strawberry Girl (a chapter book we read together)
- Hugs and Family
- Watching bluebird nests
- Reading with mom
- Great books
- Making volcanos
- Lunch with Dad
- ....and more!
When we finished...? All three asked if we could do reading and science! That's okay with me, and I get to count the day a success.
