linders Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I'm about to get the DC up so they can go out to breakfast with DH (a first day tradition) while I spread out their new books, notebooks, supplies, etc., on the dining table. When they return we'll take pics, go through the new stuff, then...start work. My planning is sort of done (for the first few weeks, anyway) and I have the first field trip scheduled Wednesday (the Titanic exhibit!) so I suppose we are ready. Or maybe not. Is it too late to crawl back into bed and summer break? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delaney Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Yes but we do a soft opening. The buses run this morning and we run....off to IHOP! That is a tradition. Then we will come back and I will walk them each through their new stuff. I am still waiting on the VP info to start those history classes:glare: that I think I was supposed to get by the 15th. Need to check on that. I am using this week to get them into the schedule but we have a few things this week and next week that we need to take care of(dentist, register for dance.....all during "school" hours). After Labor Day we will be ready to go full force!:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinmom Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Yes, we are starting today. Unfortunately, the whining has already begun and it is only 7:20! :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lily_Grace Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 We just finished our first day. :) Aside from a few small whines when he realized that chemistry now has math in it, it went wonderfully. We switched our main curriculum to Learning Adventures and I'm so glad! The Kid got to do a variety of different tasks that added just that much more to our day. He's at an age where most curriculum is written for an independent student so it was a nice treat to find something that still incorporated family time.

kwg Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 We are starting today! :001_smile: My five year old woke me up early adn wanted to start so he is done. :D My ten year old is still sleeping- he is not as excited I guess :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkholland Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 We are starting easy also! I too am waiting on the email confirming the VP class my ds is in. That is what he wanted to begin with this week. Other ds is starting his SL stuff, and older ds starts his two cc classes today. I have to ease into the whole school thing so its not such a shock to my lazy summer system :) But it will be good to be back into our regular routine.

freeindeed Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Yes, but today will be light. Tomorrow is full force! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyerin Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I'm calling this our official start, but really, it won't be any different, as we've been schooling light all summer. We are adding one more thing today, so I picked today to be the beginning, picture day, etc. I'm excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadianmumof5 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 We are starting today! Well, DS6 is starting a slow intro with half of his subjects while the older 2 are at camp this week. He has already told me he is NOT going to do school today. He thinks grade 2 is going to be B-O-R-I-N-G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadianmumof5 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 We are starting today! That is awesome! I really need to up the fun factor at our house. I may scoop this idea to use when all 3 start next week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misidawnrn Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 We are also starting today. Last night I reminded 8yo DD that we are starting school in the morning and 3yo DD said "with me too?" so at least someone is excited! I need more coffee!
