Rest, Regroup, Rejuvenate, Reorganize!
If time is an issue, maybe doing an interactive computer curriculum for a bit may help.
If burn out is the problem, take some time off. There is nothing wrong with that. Have a couple of teacher workdays for yourself. Maybe you could have a few field trip days where you and the kids explore.
Mix things up a bit. Change the way you are doing things. Ask the kids what they want to learn about. Feed off their ideas, return the fun to learning. The beautiful thing of homeschooling is that you are never bound to one thing.
Switch it up, give it a twist and it will become new for you.

If each and every one of us made even one small change in the way we do things, it could make a big difference, for our planet and ourselves.

This group is a place to share ideas, resources, and just general information on green living, including (but not limited to) recycling, reducing, reusing, and use natural, organic, chemical free (in other words “Earth friendly” products
