Boy...this time of year, you begin to wonder! Everyone is getting tired! We are all starting to dread the next day, thinking that we would rather be outside than doing math....
So, why not? I challenge you to be creative! Think outside the box - and the house! Why not do some math outside as you divide blades of grass into fractions or, take your lunch to the park to discuss the civil war - no reason to be inside all the time! As you get to this point in the school year - don't give up, but don't be frustrated either! Spring fever is a REAL condition in children! Bear with them....wouldn't you rather be outside? Get creative and, while you are trying to get all that school work crammed into their brains - keep in mind that there are no rules that say that we can't do those last 15 spelling words stretched out over 30 minutes each morning of the summer...or that we can't read that last book at night before bed...
Don't lose hope - and don't lose your mind! Now...if you will excuse me, I am going outside to throw the ball with my boys and talk about what drove our country to the civil war!
