I've just finished entering Chemistry into Homeschool Tracker, which marks the end of my planning!  Phew, just in time for our family vacation.  I feel great about all that I've done to get us ready for school and am excited to tackle some of the material that we're planning to complete this year.  The Chemistry especially looks amazing.  While we really loved the Biology I course, some of it was review for us;  however, Chemistry will all be new, and there are an amazing number of experiments, which Hugs will just eat up.

I've also finished putting together my Teacher's Guide.  Here's what's in it to spark some ideas:

1. Goals for the school year in a page protector.
2. Hugs's contract (page protector).
3. Weekly Plan tab:  Our print outs from HST for both Hugs and Smiles; Our family chore schedule.
4. Library Lists tab: Books I have to check out of the Library for our history/ literature studies; the list of NEST videos at the library
5. Long Range Plan tab: our MOTH schedule; our subject planning grid for the future, all in page protectors
6. History Guides tab:   I've pulled out the first 4 chapters from the SOTW Activity Guide for handy reference
7. Read Aloud Guide tab:  Pulled from the Sonlight IG
8. Reader Guide tab:  Pulled from the Sonlight IG
9. Miscellaneous tab: extra copies of Mental Math sheets,  and the lyrics for the scripture memory CD we're using
10. Smiles PreK tab:  At this point, there isn't a lot there, but I've got the answer guides for the Developing the Early Learner books that we are using.

Just 11 Days until the first day of school!
