Are you experiencing the slump this year?

Funny for some of us these months are wonderful as we thrive with the monotony. Knowing what to expect and not having frequent breaks for all the ‘things’ to get us off kilter is wonderful in our world.

I'm pregnant with my first child and even I'm feeling the slump 🤣 I'm seriously going to stop researching this until Spring when my attitude improves.

Going somewhere else is a big help. We go to the library or to the local coffee shop. It helps both my son and I.

I understand the disappointment of not being able to take a trip... we were planning on a Florida trip this spring, but due to my husband's seizures and health issues, plus him not being able to work right now, we kinda can't go anywhere for the foreseeable future. It's a bummer, but we are filled with other blessings. I like to shop for next year's curriculum around this time of year. Our history comes tomorrow and it just gives me a boost and motivation to keep going with what we have so I can get to the new stuff haha!

How have I homeschooled for 8 years and it STILL surprises me and catches me off guard EVERY YEAR?! We are totally there right now!

We actually started a new "year" of curriculum after spending 3 semesters on the same one. Sounds tedious, BUT we added some unit studies (alternated with the core curriculum) and are scheduling some mini-breaks every 4-5 weeks until we stop (mostly) for summer. We try to go see at least one kids play, which we are doing next week.

Mixing it up helps! We just ditched the normal ELA for a Sherlock Holmes book with a Progeny Press guide! I'm pulling my middle schooler and high schooler in, and we're just gonna have some fun.

Great advice! We started our new grades in January after taking 3 weeks off for "winter break". That helped tremendously and I don't feel like I'm in a slump yet! I'm also expecting a baby in April, so with taking 2-3 months off for an "early summer". I'm expecting to be pretty excited about school again. I wonder if we will experience a slump toward November/December, though.

Yes this is so timely for the homeschool slump! I have been sooooo feeling it! Oh embroidery how fun! Can you share any Amazon finds that were helpful?

@mirandacarter215 Жыл бұрын

NC zoo homeschoolers can also get in free I believe twice a year! We have definitely taken advantage of that!

Yes, the 2nd half of the year is the hardest. The 1st part seems exciting, but the 2nd half can seem more like a chore. Thanks for tge laugh, btw. - "if you live a place like Florida where it's warm...". I spent the morning wrapped in a blanket head to toe🤣🤣🤣🤣. We just had a cold snap move in. I was wearing shorts a couple of days ago.😊

@mandy-maltz Жыл бұрын

Warm is relative to me these days 🤣 I spent about 7 years in Florida and now I'm acclimated to NC temps in the winter. My mom is still there and we have 2 totally different definitions of "cold", so I like to tease her lol!

Just seem to overcome the slump this year. We've been sick for the last 10 days. That helped a little. Now we restart with fresh energy and also switched rooms. Sitting at the kitchen table since today (normaly it's an extra homeschool room). Here we can see the garden with our daily breakaway chicken and enjoy the sun, if there is some :) The next summer will come soon and it'll all be fine again! Just keep going, Mamas!

My husband wants to go to the ark museum too. But we live in Canada. So maybe someday not anytime soon

Omg thank you for this video, I’ve been Homeschooling for 6 years but never knew why we were never motivated. Great tips to get us motivated again.

We unit study both our history and science, so every few weeks one or the other is changing. Also, morning/basket time is about 50% of our homeschool day and I use a loop schedule for that so no two days are exactly the same. I also take a very relaxed Charlotte Mason approach towards homeschooling with hardly any textbooks or formal curriculum. My high schooler spends more time on hobbies and interests than he does on 'school' work.
