Am I the only one who gets like this in the spring? Please say I'm not! :)
I think we are at around 175 days, so about 5 more to go and we can call this school year done. We put away our Sonlight stuff several weeks ago and have been just doing news, workbooks (geography, handwriting, spelling), piano, and math each day. Just finished our co-op on Monday, it won't start again til September. We're just like, DONE, mentally, I think.
My kids are going to have to do some school work over the summer mainly to finish their math programs (they are all about 85% done with it, we got off track on that), and I want to be able to count a lot of days as half days so that when our new baby comes in August-ish, we can take a few weeks off without falling too far behind. But we are going to FL next week and I am SO READY FOR THE FULL ON BREAK!
We have started going slower, we play games and watch videos, and generally do fun educational things but I am also ready for a break. This was our first year and it was a success but I'm ready to sleep in and not worry about keeping track of attendance for a few months.
We really only have Math left. We stopped Science, and are just going to do the last unit from scratch over the summer. We're doing a few history things yet too, but nothing huge or in depth. We're still working on spelling with my little guy just to finish the program out. It makes it hard to keep going when we barely have half a day of stuff left to do!
We finished math a couple of weeks ago! So he has just been doing Prodigy and MobyMax. We are so done here as well and we still need 20 something days. We are down to finishing all of our projects, and doing science (because he loves it) and finishing his grammar. We are getting ready to go into summer mode and just do math and reading. We won't have a full week off for a little while though.
Ugh, I am so over it! We are doing Kindergarten and my son LOVES it, all of it, but I'm fried. I'm sick of doing lesson plans, sick of planning whatever theme is next, just uninspired and burned out but I'm hiding it because I want to keep up my son's enthusiasm. We are doing space/solar system next week and I'm VERY tempted to be done. We've been going strong since July 28th and have seriously gone above and beyond for a 5 year old so I would feel no guilt if we quit then and took off until the end of July again...we'll see.
We are on a break now & the issue is my 4 year old asks for calendar time now every day plus asks for art projects like 4-5 times a day. So I'm still doing everything, just not planning it (like this week we made play doh, did surprise play doh balls, dS colored about 10 invisible ink pages & did a tracing book, plus coloring and drawing). I'd almost rather have stuff prepared so I'm not trying to prep and do the activity with 2 kids waiting for stuff
We will be getting one for two grades, I tend to incorporate many other homeschooling activities which is how I make that work.
Do you use Unit Studies?
