Matryoshka Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Well, this was supposed to be our first day of hsing for the year, but somehow I'm going north to the White Mountains for a 3-day hike with two of my kids and four others (and another chaperone, and an AMC guide). Last little burst of summer! Guess we'll get going next week... Have fun on your hsing adventure! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisabelle Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 It's our first ever day too! The dh very kindly went out yesterday and bought a dry erase board and attached it to an easel. Wasn't that sweet? Anyway, may it be a great day for all of us newbies and our kiddos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddysmom26 Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Thanks everyone! I think it went pretty well. I think the biggest thing is the adjustment that she needs to realize we are not a PS classroom. She kind of expected me to be standing in front of the blackboard "teaching" .. We started at 8 and were mostly done by 11.. then I took her out to lunch to celebrate. She has called me 3 times already at work (my store) so I guess I have to kind of make her a list of things/projects to do in the afternoons when Im not there. But I think that its all going to work out fine once we get the routine going and she realizes that its more relaxed! ;) (than ps. ) Oh and p.s. .. The school responded and my IHIP was in compliance! Yippee! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
