Nope, Steffanie, you’ve just got to grin and bear it! Just kidding, but I know what you mean! I have often said that we do not take Snow Days off so that we can take ‘Sun Days’ off. Sometimes you just have to say, “Let’s go!”
Here are a few ideas: You might try offering something periodically like, “After we do this we’ll do this…” Weather permitting, we like to take the books outside. Having a picnic lunch helps revive us. Asking the children, “How can you justify going outside for school right now rather than opening the text book?” really challenges them to think and be creative. You may find that you are able to replace a chapter in a book with an outside activity. Science projects, history fieldtrips, even math can be done with manipulatives from outside. Rainy days, we really buckle down. Sometimes just a change to the schedule in any way is refreshing.
Blessings,
Cindy
