DawnM Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Monday? Tuesday? Other? I took this past week off. Dh is home until Tuesday. We did our reading but nothing else. Trying to decide if we should take off Monday or start back up. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Our plan was to start on Monday, however dh's Grandmother is dying in the hospital so I have a feeling our week could be a little crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrappyhomeschooler Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Our plan was to start on Monday, however dh's Grandmother is dying in the hospital so I have a feeling our week could be a little crazy. Sorry to hear that! I was going to start back on Tuesday, but I think I'll wait until the 9th. I need time to get the Christmas stuff put away and clean up and organize. I think I'll have the kids do some of the things they got for Christmas during this week, like putting puzzles together, playing with Chemistry set, etc. My uncle also gave them each a bag with different pieces of wood and glue that they could make something with.

boscopup Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 We're starting back Monday, BUT... it will probably be only partial school, like 2-3 subjects. For one, we took most of December off, so we'll need to ease back into things. Secondly, we're having all of our windows replaced possibly next week, which means everything has to be moved to the middle of the rooms, so school might be logistically difficult with all the furniture in the middle of the room. :tongue_smilie: So we'll see. I don't plan to do full range of subjects until the window stuff is done. On a good note, my house is getting amazingly clean and decluttered because of this project (we're also repainting several rooms while we're moving furniture and such).

whitestavern Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 For the first time ever, I think we're taking an add'l week off (this coming week). The past week just flew, and it's been sooooo lovely around here; no squabbles, no bickering, just everyone really enjoying spending time together. Kids have been doing lots of reading and playing games. I'm not ready to go back to school yet! I agree with a PP, too, that I want to take all the Christmas decorations down and clean/organize everything before we start back. We may do some very light schoolwork, but I'm not even sure about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashfern Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I think we'll start back on Monday. The kids are starting to play games all day (PC, Wii, & DS). I don't want that to go on for another week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 We'll either start back Wed or Thurs, probably Wednesday and if it goes well we'll do two days. We went until the 20th, so we'll have about two weeks of break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver0f10 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I had planned to start back on Monday, but DH took this coming week off so we will most likely start back on the 9th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Lulu* Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 We'll do school lite starting Monday, and will be back full steam on the 9th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmamainva Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Resuming schoolwork on Monday (taking down the tree and decorations either today or tomorrow...haven't decided yet!). Will be able to get a full week of uninterrupted schoolwork done before piano lessons and co-op resume the week of the 9th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halcyon Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Our plan was to have a light week last week and then resume in full force on Monday....but I seem to have the flu or maybe just a bad cold. Thursday and Friday we didn't do any schoolwork, which is fine. We probably needed the break. But I am feeling so crap*y today, I just wonder how I'll feel on Monday. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhrice3 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Dawn, If your hubbie is off on Mon, I would plan something fun like family movie night or whatever. I would start back on Tues when he goes back to work. We will start on Thur, because I have one in public high school and they go back that day. However, in years past we have schooled on New Years when hubbie worked (and before the kids figured out public schools got 2 weeks off). We always traveled somewhere warm in the winter so I schooled to fit my schedule. Have a Happy New Year ReneeR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mama2cntrykids Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 We'll be starting back on Monday. The natives are getting restest.

m0mmaBuck Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Most likely some "school light" (3 R's) on Monday and a full-blown schedule on Tuesday. Of course I have to layout a full lesson plan for the week since DH is going to start handling school on Wednesdays as well as Monday and Friday mornings when I start my new work schedule on Wednesday. Gulp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edelweiss Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 We'll start back on Wednesday. It will be a lighter (although not truly light) week this week. We'll be back at full throttle on the 9th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laundrycrisis Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 We only took off four days around Christmas, and then school was very light this last week. This coming week will also be light because now that the holidays are over, I have some special projects of my own I want to get done before all of the normal out-of-the-house activities resume. Light this week, back to full load on the 9th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourcatmom Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 The plan is for Monday even if it's a late start and a short day. We have had two weeks off already due to the broken pinky two weeks ago. Our schedule got so much off kilter we just took our vacation early. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustybug Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I am still undecided. I think we will go ahead and start back on Monday, because we may want to take some time off in the next couple of months that I hadn't planned on. Guess I need to get in gear. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embassy Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) We started back last Wednesday. They had a week off. If we have no breaks we'll finish by the end of June:tongue_smilie: So I guess we'll finish some time in July.

Dmmetler Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Monday-we've been schooling only lightly since before Thanksgiving, due to traveling in early November with DH for work, then DD's rehearsal and performance schedule-and we don't do anything big for New Years, so it's just another weekend. It's time to get back to work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Elf Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Monday. BUT, we are taking off the week of Jan. 9th too. So that gives us 2 weeks off with a 1 week school week between. We have appointments every day the week of the 9th, including ds15 getting braces on the 11th. I know better than to even attempt school that week!

justamouse Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Not until next week, and at this point I am DYING to get back to work (I say this now, in the beginning of a visit-I'm sure that by the end of the visit I'm going to need a few days of down time).

Daisy Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 We don't start back until January 9th but we worked right up until December 23rd. That's the public school schedule here this year. Very weird. But since DH is a ps teacher, we follow his schedule. I'm kinda glad now as I have another full week of vacation to look forward to. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Thursday...dh teaches public school and it's when he goes back. I like that I just follow his schedule and don't really have to decide. I don't know about next year, though. We have do 180 days here in GA, but his school is going to 170 next year with 20 minutes longer each day. Maybe our 10 extra days can be field trips with him.
