Hating February is a long tradition. As you may already know, the Romans disliked February so much, they shorted it on days. That’s how enshrined the February blahs are. It’s the month that everything seems wrong. Someone told me it’s the month you’re most likely to question whether you should really be homeschooling. I can believe it.
That’s why we try to take a vacation in February. Even if it’s a short one, like this year’s two day trip to a ski resort. It doesn’t always happen, but we’ve had several big trips in February in the past. I know not everyone can afford to flee town in February, but if you can, I really recommend it.
We’re off in early March, which means I have to survive February first. We’re almost halfway there! And those are some cute boards they’re sporting there!
You are so right- we always get the February blahs!!! I am scheduling in a much needed sunny escape to re-charge and get rid of those pesky homeschooling doubts. I also find it helpful to add in a new curriculum resource or hands on activity to change things up a bit.
