Well, summer vacation is officially winding down. Sigh.

Really, I am happy. We stick to our schedule so much better when we are schooling and frankly, I am BORED!

On the one hand, I love having time to do what I want in the mornings, but I would much rather be working on school.

We won't officially start until after Labor Day just because we still have stuff going on this month and would be taking off too many days to make it really worthwhile to start any earlier.

The good news is that I have our stuff (Sonlight Core 1, SL LA 2 Int, Science 1, and Horizons Math 1) and have DD6's assignment book all ready to go. Last year I used Homeschool Tracker, but it took SOOOOOOO long to enter everything and I gave up on it after a month or so. So this year, I bought a teacher planning book and was able to get all of her assignments planned out and written down in about a week.

If you SL users are scratching your heads about why I would need to plan anything, allow me to explain. We use the 5 day schedule and do it in 4 days. So I double up one day and we take Fridays off except for doing our weekly science experiment. I don't know that we will be able to do that much after Core 2, as I have heard that Core 3 is a bit more involved.

Anyway, I think that I will be updating far more frequently as we get more into a schedule...I hope!
