30 Days and Counting!
Can you believe that it is almost that time already? Where did the summer go? And what am I going to do to start preparing for school? For the most part, I am still trying to relax as much as I can because I have an even bigger task ahead of me this year. You see, last year I only home-schooled four out of five children but this year, our youngest Matt, will be starting kindergarten. WOW! I’m not stressing but I realize how important it is to use this week to really relax. 
Although school for the older children starts on Aug. 15th and Aug. 20th for Matt- I will begin easing them back into the mindset of school, next week. I will start by setting aside two hours a day to read, do a few math problems and work on writing skills with them. For Matt, I’ll begin to go over things that he already knows like ABC’s, numbers and Phonics. (This will be interesting). I will also be working on narrowing down what schedule I will follow to make sure our school days go as smooth as possible.CHRISTMAS TIME!!!
Soon, the big boxes will be arriving and it will be like “Christmas in July”! All of their school books, teacher guides and other materials from K12 will be dropped off soon and I have to prepare for that as well. The kids and I literally get soooo excited when we are opening and looking through all the boxes to see their new books and school supplies. Afterwards, we organize everything and put it in place as we look over the list to make sure everything listed is actually in the box. Whew! I’m starting to feel a little tired just typing this. LoL……However, I am excited to see what this year will bring. And I am going to keep you up- to- date as much as possible. In addition to updates, I will share ideas that are working to help make this upcoming school year a BLAST!
What are you doing to prepare for school? Have any tips? Please share.
Enjoy the Rest of Your Summer!
A Grateful Mom
