kricau Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I try to follow the schedule of my DD's cousin (who goes to a fancy private school). Just because they like to play together, and if she has started school already then my DD won't really mind starting too. But this year they are going back on August 6th. and that seems really soon LOL When she was in K & 1st grade we didn't start till Sep. 1st. But that seems really far away. LOL So tell me when you start back? Or if you never stopped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangermom Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 August 13th. One week before I have to go back to work, so as to give us settling-in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaT Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 August 13 - if I can get off my duff and finish getting ready. I'm procrastinating.

blondeviolin Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 This coming Monday (23 July). The kids aren't playing outside because of the heat. Rather than them complaining about being bored, we'll start early and break frequently when it's nice enough to play outside again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kricau Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Yeah, the planning and ordering is so much fun. I hope the teaching lives up to it :) August 13 - if I can get off my duff and finish getting ready. I'm procrastinating.

kricau Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Oh, I know what you mean. Our pool turned green so we haven't been outside for like a week cause of the heat. And they are starting to get antsy :( This coming Monday (23 July). The kids aren't playing outside because of the heat. Rather than them complaining about being bored, we'll start early and break frequently when it's nice enough to play outside again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medieval Mom Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 We started up July 9th. We had a 3 week break for Teacher Inservice. :lol: Or, shall I say, the dc had a break while I spent the time with Excel and a mug of coffee. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmmetler Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 August 20. pS here starts Aug 6, but DD and I are going to go visit family out of state for the first two weeks of Aug, and since I know it will take a few days to get back in sync, I'm starting school officially the following Monday. That's also when dance, co-op, and homeschool science start, so it's a good week to be official. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShannonS Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Feelin' a little awkward about it, but we one took one week completely off at the end of May. With that exception, we never stopped piano, math and reading. Science started again in mid June. Everything else started again week of July 2. :001_unsure: The days seem to run pretty smoothly though, so it's all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Florida. Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 We've always started after Labor Day or ds' birthday, whichever comes last. This year his birthday falls on Labor Day. However, he'll be taking a class at the high school, and school starts August 8th. I can't decide if we'll start when school starts, or if I should just let him get used to taking a class (he's never been to school), and start our homeschooling later like we've always done. So, we might end up with 2 start dates - the one he'll have for his ps class, and our homeschool start date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIS0320 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 We are doing light school this summer with two unit studies 2x per week and spelling, math and piano, just so she doesn't get too rusty. We'll be fully back in school the day after Labor Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My3Munchkins Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 My original plan was to start July 30th but I'm just not ready to go back that soon so I think we'll wait until August 6th. That will give us several weeks to get back into the swing of things before our other activities begin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravin Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 DD starts back to her enrichment program on the 9th. We'll probably start ramping up with independent work the following week, and really get into the swing of things once I finish my summer externship (which has me working nearly full time).

Based on Faith Academy Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Rather than them complaining about being bored, we'll start early and break frequently when it's nice enough to play outside again. I don't plan on starting until the end of August, but I told my kids if they don't stop complaining about being bored we will just start school early. This is the first year we have not schooled the whole year long. Maybe there was a reason I never took a long break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elise1mds Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Other; we already started. We had a couple months off. All the public schools start in the middle of August; I think the week of the 13th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0mmaBuck Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Other. We normally start the Monday after Labor Day but this year my mom and sister will be here visiting until Sept. 10 and I work Sept. 11 so we will start on Sept. 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabrizia Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 We started Kindergarten July 2nd. I was planning on starting in June, but life circumstances pushed it back to July. We still aren't doing our full load, since I still need to order one or two things, but we do Math, Science, Reading and History daily right now and it is working out well.

Kelly1730 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Officially, August 27th.

Kari C in SC Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 You need an other - or a July option. We took a break from April though June and picked back up in July. That is pretty typical for us. It is hot in SC in the summer - so we start earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meriwether Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 We close on our new house on August 20th so we'll start right after Labor Day. I had hoped to start earlier, but 2 weeks is going to be pushing it. Hopefully, I'll have everything ready to go before we move and I'll just have to set up house.

kricau Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Well, this got alot more replies than I expected. Thanks everybody. I think we will be starting the middle of August. If I can get rid of the rest of these books (see my for sale post) and finish organizing the school room (see my "I need a school desk" post).
