The beginning of a new school year is so exciting, especially as a homeschooler, it a additional chance to re/evaluate everything that has been going on. How is the family structure? Is the bible reading getting done? Are dinners on time? Do we all hate each other ? It's a time full of choice, are we going for a highly scheduled term; swimming at 3pm gymastics at 4pm, or are we going to be home bodies and enjoy our walk through life more slowly. For my self I find making sure my oldest dd13 has challenging courses being an important goal. So that encourages me to seek several out of home classes for her. I am happy to say I finally of a handle on several group/families that we will be ineracting with so I am truly pleased about that. I plan on structing our day utlizing the Large Family Logistics planner or Managers of Their Own Home just so everything can get done. Any other modes of suggestions would be helpful as well. I not a real the kids have to up by....and napping by......I am thinking if I can get myself more on a calendar it would help the whole flow of the house. I really excited about planning the curriculum for this year. I plan again to use several different as well as homemade methods. One reason for my excitement is my husband is fully on board this year. Which helps our communication when it comes to budget. It's can be difficult when someone gives you an abritary amount to go by, but they don't have a clue what even the median cost may be. So now for the first time have a realistic budget for this school year, I will attempt to lower it, via used books, the library, and more homemade themes, just hubby will give me extra loving kudos . So I'll let you know how it goes. |
