So I've volunteered to plan Moms' Nights Out for our homeschool group next school year. Sounds fun. Now I just have to do it. I don't like planning field trips and don't really need any co ops so MNO was a good thing for me to do. I like Mom's Night Out. It's fun. So I'm trying to think of things to do: I want a good mix of serious and fun. Fun will be easy. There are plenty of fun things to do. Serious probably won't be too hard either. So far I've decided that we'll have a kick off at my parents' pool. They have lots of chairs and a gazebo with a counter for snacks so that will be a fun way for people to get aquainted or catch up. We'll follow that in September with a guided discussion on getting organized. Well, actually staying organized would be better. Getting organized isn't all that hard. It's maintaining that's the problem. I plan to make up an outline and try to have at least one person to share how they've been successful in each different area on the outline. For October I think lapbooking will be the topic; I just don't know what we'll do yet. I think I can borrow a video and show some examples of lapbooks we've made. That way it's free. In November or early December we'll take some sort of field trip. Something you wouldn't want to do with kids. Maybe something for the holidays. January will be a soup supper with a speaker, whom I have not yet scheduled. I have no budget, so it needs to be someone willing to come on a love offering basis, which means they need to be local. That's as far as I've gotten on that. Now I need to start planning my school year and see what I still need to buy. I'd better blog about that so I can look back next year and see how I did and how much time I spent on things that didn't work out. No, I'm not being negative; just realistic. We could probably take half a school year to finish last year's plans. And they weren't really too much to get done in a year. I should have this down by now. This is year 12 in this homeschool thing. |
