Growing up Mondays have been a hard day for me, especially while in school. After having a great weekend full of fun, or even a nice calm and relaxing weekend, Mondays were the end to all my weekend joy. I know I am not the only one with the "Monday Morning Complex", my facebook TL is littered with complaints and groaning from people going back to work or school on Mondays.
Well I didn't want my little homeschoolers to grow up with the MMC, I wanted them to love Mondays just like they love Fridays (which is pizza and Disney Channel night). So I decided to make it a fun day in school. A way to do work and ease them back into work mode rather than just start up with worksheets and lessons.
As today was the first day I tried this little experiment, and also almost Christmas break, we had an even more relaxed "Awesome Monday". We simply played quite a few rounds of UNO and learned all about our new pet "Snap Snap", the crayfish I found crawling across the driveway this morning.
But my goal is to evolve this day to be a fun way to introduce the lessons of the week. To make a smooth transition from fun filled weekend to school work. However, my whole goal with homeschool is to make learning something that is fun and desired rather than just a neccesity.
