Saille Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 OK, so the kids and my dh are out of town until Fri/Sat, and I've got a million things to get done before they get back. BUT, I am taking a homeschool inservice. As in, get my ducks in a row, have some reflective time, and be in a good, centered place when the kids get back and we start rolling. Unfortunately, I'm fresh off of running a week-long, half-day program called Children's Peace Week, and holding a garage sale the day after. Sunday I worked. So, I haven't had a minute to myself to formulate a plan. I've got three books I'm in the middle of reading: Liping Ma's Knowing and Teaching Elementary Mathematics, MCT's The Conceptual Dialectic, and that Adlerian book, the Paideia Approach, that MCT recommends as a good book on Socratic dialogue. I've got copybooks and memory work to finish. This year's end-of-year reports. Reading lists to finalize. Some cutie things I'd like to make for the kids, like book slings for their rooms, and schultutes. But I guess I don't think of all of those as things I should do during an inservice. Some of them are just tasks. Anyway, say you had either one or two days, 9-3, to do whatever enriched you and made you feel ready for another year of homeschooling. Got any ideas?

specialmama Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I'd take every book off my shelves and re-organize. I'd take a bubble bath with soft music, work out, sit and do nothing, and wait for some motivation/inspiration to hit me as to what to do next. :001_smile: Have fun!

Saille Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 Ha HA! We are building floor to ceiling bookshelves as a result of the garage sale, so I will get to reorganize the shelves soon enough...and bring my poor lost boxed books down from the attic. A bubble bath. What a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
