sassenach Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 February is almost always the most productive month of our school year. I'm starting to feel like a freak! Things I love about February: It's in a lull between sports and our schedule tends to be light. It's a lull between church holidays and our ministry schedule tends to be light. We stay home more when it's raining. (the drought is really cramping my style) My kids are calmer. They slow down and read more. The neighborhood kids (though I really do love my kids' neighborhood social lives) tend to come around less. We get a LOT of school done. February is the month that I recover from my "holiday, we're falling behind" panic and I start to realize that we can indeed finish the school year mostly on time. Just don't talk to me about May.

TammyinTN Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I like February...we seem to get many things accomplished in the shorter month. I'm able to stick to my schedule really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I always used to love homeschooling in Feb. for the same reasons. We always found there was a pleasant lull between seasons during this month. Enjoy your productive time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 We're totally rocking it here, kicking butt and taking names :) I'm trying to contain my excitement as to not be too obnoxious. We're all enjoying school and life and they are melding together rather seamlessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodland Mist Academy Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Happy and productive here as well! It's not always been true for February, though. We made conscious changes this year. So far, so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 It's not always this way, but I do feel like we are NOW in the swing of things, finally, this school year! lol Sometimes it takes me a while to get organized and have a clear road map for us.

Ali in OR Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 We always have a good run between New Year's and Spring Break. I think the reasons you list help explain why. I personally get a bad case of spring fever every year, but we start finishing subjects in April and are usually done by the end of May, so that helps. We have a good run at the beginning of the year, too. Our hardest times are the holidays and spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
