Ibbygirl Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 In spite of a little frantic scrambling to get my schedule ready, today went off well without a hitch. Dd was happy and enjoyed school with the exception of a very sleepy math time. Note to self, do math BEFORE lunch, not after. ;) We finished on time right before ds's bus brought him home. It was a good first day. Now, if we can just repeat this 167 more times we'll be good. ;) :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Sounds like you are off to a good start. That was nice to give her some first day of school presents! (Or was the chocolate for the teacher?:) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibbygirl Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 Sounds like you are off to a good start. That was nice to give her some first day of school presents! (Or was the chocolate for the teacher?:) ) LOL I wish!! She ate half of her chocolate bar already and didn't even offer me one piece! hehehe We are using the Primary, Secondary school designation so today was her first day of Secondary school (7th grade) and since she homeschooled over summer and just finished 6th grade only 2 weeks ago I wanted to make it special to get her (hopefully) enthusiastic about another year of school so quickly. She was happy and enjoyed her new supplies. The new curricula we chose for this year went over really well also which was great!. She enjoyed the Winston Grammar and the MOH which were both new for us this year so I was happy about that. :) I am hoping and praying that we can keep on schedule this year and finish school when ds does on June 15th. She deserves to have a summer break. She's schooled over summer the last 3 years but now that we are caught up to the right grade level in Singapore, I'm hopeful that we can finally have a long (and well deserved) summer break in 2110. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're such a great mom for giving gifts... that's a wonderful idea, and I'm going to steal it for next year! :D Glad you're off to a good start! Please do! :) I did! :) I would typically give my dd new school supplies and a toy, but I never thought of putting all together like a present for her to find when she wakes up. This mom is the one who gave me the idea to make the welcome back sign and to make it seem like a celebration to start school. When I saw her pics I knew I wanted to do something like that. :) http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=122167 Edited September 1, 2009 by Ibbygirl Don't forget to put the link!
