Well Dahlings,
here we are, ringing in a new homeschool year!! So, how are you doing? Better than I, I’ll wager…
Our 1st day of homeschool was last Thursday. I have most of my books, my homeschool room is a wreck, shelves filled with last year’s books and other books I can’t let go of [whisper] because I *might* need it someday…
In past years, I would have pushed our first day back another few days or even a week out- to get everything clean and ready. This year I decided the adult, mature thing would be to start- since we actually do, indeed, have an official starting date.
Surprisingly, our school start has actually been really good, so far…
[we'll forget about the beach day on Tuesday, right? -It's P.E....]
I do have to say that getting up early and starting school at 9 – (hey, that is early for me…)
anyhoo, actually starting at 9 and working through my list of subjects worked really well.
Wow, having a plan- it works! Yeah, who knew? It’s only taken me a decade to realize that..
I have to admit that I crash and burned with MCT Language arts last year- it was totally a lazy thing- I just didn’t get it out…but, we’ve used it twice this week and blazed through several lessons. Yay me!
I think I deserve a mocha latte, if I do say so myself…
So, dahlings, how was your back to homeschool / back to school?
Did you survive? Spill, I’m listening….
Genevieve, homeschool mom who has found her secret place. Confession is supposed to be good for the soul. That, or just entertaining. Grab a drink, and I'll spill.
Well, you’re off to a great start! As for us…Mom’s birthday is Sept. 7th, so we never even get out the books until the 8th…:)
I’m right behind ya! Have a great year…can’t wait to read more about it.
HI!! Here from the Hip Homeschool Hop.
(whispering) we’re still not organized either…
…but we started this week anyway…
…I’m praying that we’re able to finish getting organized AND keep doing school at the same time…
Think it’ll work?
Hi I am here from the Hip Homeschool Hop.
We are having a great start to our year. We decided this year to start at 8:30am. It is hard sometimes to get up at 7:30, but we love being done by noon or 1pm. We are working on our organization skills too. We actually bought a building and turned it into a school house for ourselves. It’s been fun having a place to move to. We get finished quicker and with a LOT fewer distractions.
