First Day of the new school year
Today we started our new school year - we just did a half day .... kind of an orientation thing because I needed to go over a few things that we would be doing differently this year.

One of the main new things for this year is the kids agenda/planner - a friend (sorry, can't put a name here because I can't remember which one shared this with me) told me about a planner where the kids write down what they are doing for that day and then they write down what they are going to be doing the next day.  I made up some of these kinds of pages, complete with a spot for priorities (so if they have an essay with an actual due date - they can put it there and know when it needs to be completed by) and boxes to check off when they have completed what they wrote in their agenda/planner.  We (mostly me, lol) are quite excited about this new venture ... hopefully we can keep up with it - planning ahead is something that both the kids need to learn to do.

Tomorrow we will be doing actual bookwork - still doing just half days this week, next week we will be doing full days .... including homework, I'm sure, lol.

So now that you have about 10 days under your belt... how are things going? Is the new school year a success so far?

Has it been that long already????? Wow - time really does fly, doesn't it, lol.

It's actually been going really well - the kids are settling into the routine of their schedule and there has only been a couple of days where they have had after-school work (we changed the name because they kept asking "How can we have homework when we are homeschooled?", lol)
