Is It Summer Time Yet?

I will be the first to say it! I need a break! I am sure that I am not the only one, right? Please tell me that you all are feeling it too???? That spring time fever that not only hits the kiddos but us parents as well. I find myself looking out the window and wishing that I could go out in play in my garden instead going over math facts for the millionth time. One way that I have been able to give myself that much needed time to myself is to enlist the help from online sources. I love finding new sites, games or whatever to help the boys do their lessons with less help from me;) On a search for some new online math games to make our day a little less boring and BLAM overwhelmed with what is out there and most of it is FREE. Gotta love that internet right! We not only found several math games for right now but a couple to help explain polygons to my 3rd grader for next week. Now if I could find something that would download Algebra lessons into my 8th grader's brain we would be all set. LOL Just kidding, or am I?

Seriously, homeschooling is a full time job to me so I am always in the mind set of "How can I make this a great learning experience for the boys?" OR "Is there a better way to learn about how to figure out the area of this square?" I have been incorporating hands on lessons when ever possible, but at this time of year I am running on low. It may be time for a Spring Break after all, seeing how we usually go year round with breaks off when we all can go and do things together.  Or if family comes for a visit, but our breaks are far and few in between.  Just wondering if anyone else has any of these problems?
