Christmas break is over and it's time to get back to the business of education. Another homeschooling friend mentioned how her young son had some trouble adjusting to schoolwork after a long break.
When my guys were young we used to make the first days back (two or three) filled with projects and fun ways to school. Maybe we did food math review (used carrots and pretzels as manipulatives), did a science project or two instead of lessons, worked on word searches or crosswords to ease back into English.
Even now, with two in high school, we still try to make it interesting and get their brains and bodies back into routine with some less strenuous activities. They still learn, its just not as intense.
What do you do when you come off a long break like summer or Christmas vacations?
