Kidlit Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 we're off to a GREAT start!!! :D:D:D We started school on Monday, and granted, we're just doing 1st grade and K-4 (for lack of a better descriptor), but I was REALLY nervous since this is our first time schooling with an infant in the house. The girls are learning, we're getting *almost* everything on the schedule done, and I'm NOT going crazy! :tongue_smilie::D Anybody else having a good first week?

Whereneverever Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 We are! We started Monday, as well, and it looks like our kids are close in age! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tranquilmama Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 we started Monday. We will be taking a break after tomorrow as I just found out that my mother in law will be visiting and that = put EVERYTHING away so that she doesn't have the opportunity to look it all over and criticize. So much for our first official week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnandtinagilbert Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 We are too. Still a little over time, but I think once we get in our groove, everything is going to work well :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidlit Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 :hurray::hurray::hurray: tranquilmama, I'm sorry that you're having to stop in mid-stream. That's tough! Maybe you'll be able to get your momentum back quickly once your company leaves!:grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwickimom Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 ME!!! Its my first year and I have a 3rd grader and a K4, plus a two year old running around. I jumped head first into a full schedule and we are loving it. My kids have been begging to start forever. We'll see how it all goes when we lose our excitement :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In2why Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 We started Monday too and I must say that our first day of 2nd grade was a nightmare. I thought about it though and it was all about him testing the limits, and walking the discipline line. I held firm even though I wanted to knock either him or me out..:001_smile: and today went fantastic. So I can only guess what tomorrow will bring. I am very happy with our curriculum choices and I adore these kids 99% of the time, so I think we are just working out the kinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearnpurple Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 (edited) We started on Monday but only 1/2 of our books.....Thought we would try starting easy this year....so far so good and my ds and dd8 are both actually doing their math with very little complaints! YEAH! Although, I know that it won't last, I will enjoy it as long as I have it! We are trying a more relaxed approach but with a schedule. Hopefully, that will make a difference! Let's all check back next week and see how it goes! :) Edited August 4, 2010 by bearnpurple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanamak Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 We started up, too, and I'm really pleased with our quick math review. All those units topics I felt he had such a thready grip on are not so misty to him, he has announced he wants cooking and sewing lessons (along with archery), and he is reading Ribsy aloud to me.
