Gil Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 We were scheduled to do 2 weeks of Spring Break starting Monday of last week and we didn't even notice when the event came around on the calendar, we just kept doing school each day. The boys have already done their school work for today also we've been in such a nice groove. I could keep quiet and just take Spring Break for the last 2 weeks of March. Should I tell them?

JumpyTheFrog Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Nope, I wouldn't tell them. Save the break for when you really need it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TammyS Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I agree with the posters who said save it for when you need it, but make sure that you take it AS SOON as you need it. Don't run yourself to the end of tolerance/exhaustion. I would be looking for the first week of nice weather and take it then, to have a nice break. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Tick Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Take off next week and then sprinkle the other 5 days as needed (or finish early!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbel Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I'd keep going. It's rare we get into a really good groove around here, so when it happens, I try to take advantage of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechWife Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 If you have it on the schedule, I'm not in favor of waiting until you need it to take it. It is these types of decisions that can lead to burnout. I don't however, see need for a two week spring break - it doesn't sound like you have plans to travel anywhere. You could easily take next week off, then take a week of in May or end your school year a week early. Back when I was able to schedule our own school days (before outside classes and dual enrollment interfered) I scheduled one Friday a month off, one week in November for Thanksgiving, two in December for Christmas/New Year's and one week and a day, starting Good Friday and going through the week following Easter. It was always nice to be able to look forward to down time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I would prefer to take Spring Break when it is nice enough to be outside. The beginning of March is usually still rumbly, but we can usually do outside activities by the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklyUnicorn Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Winter is still in full force here. It won't be decent until the end of April (maybe). So I'd rather do it later. And no I would not tell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 If we don't have travel plans, I've been known to put off break by a week just because it's not sunny. First nice, warm sunny day though, at the very least the books are going down and we're spending a few hours at the zoo. We go year round though, just so I can do that and not worry about anyone getting behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73349 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 If your weather is like ours, I'd keep going another month or so and then do it when it's nice enough to enjoy it outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne in CA Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 A groove is hard to come by in the spring. I would plan on taking days off when they are more restless to be outside enjoying the good weather. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momacacia Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Uhhh, we're supposed to take spring break? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKWAcademy Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 we did something similar, so I just moved it to the next week. I would skip it altogether but we decided to visit the grandparents. We REALLY need the break anyway. No groove happening around here. I'd save yours for when you need the break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcat Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I'd keep going. It's rare we get into a really good groove around here, so when it happens, I try to take advantage of it. This. I don't 'break a really good groove' unless the weather is exceptional or something. A groove is hard to come by in the spring. I would plan on taking days off when they are more restless to be outside enjoying the good weather. Yep---- we would push through scheduled days off in favor of taking off time for good weather. (as long as everything was humming along, of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
