Perhaps you've spent too much time indoors because of bad weather, or you just need a break from routine. Whatever the cause, you just want to do something different.
Slumps can occur during the spring, too.
Rather than do another day of math and grammar you want to kick back and spend the day outside. Times like that are perfect to pull out a pre-planned mini unit study designed to take advantage of the season. Even if you use a preplanned curriculum which requires accomplishing a set amount of work each day, you should strongly consider taking a week off when you hit the doldrums. Consider it an opportunity to try a different teaching method with your children. The break will refresh everyone.
