So today if I posted how I was honestly feeling I suppose I wouldn't be very inspirational. It was one of those harder days in home school where things just wasn't going the way it was supposed to.
It is so close to Spring Break that it is very apparent EVERYONE is declining in positivity. I've been racking my brain of how I can fix this...and then I said to myself, "Jules-You home school...spice it up!" The choices are limitless.
We are going to take the next few days and do lessons around Easter.
1. The 3 older kids will be taking the true story of Easter and writing a play(covers their need to write/direct a play for Eng/LA.) All 4 of them will practice and put the play on for the entire family on Sunday. This also can cover some of Social Studies skills :)
2. Use jelly beans or M&Ms for Math and if they get the problems correct-they get to eat some candy.
3. All 4 will be doing an egg drop for Science. I just couldn't center things around Easter and not include eggs! I wonder how many we will break...
4. I always love to add in learning in the kitchen so we will make Resurrection Rolls and Easter Story Cookies..
Later in the week- who knows maybe we will find a local store that has baby chicks and we could go see them.
Remember-Take a deep breath and relax!
-Jules
Those all sound like great idea.. Makes me re-think the rest of my weeks lessons.
