Bang!Zoom! Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 If you've moved during the school year, how did you manage the transition with necessary books for studies and settling in? How did you figure out what to take or did you just go without or....did you come up with an alternate plan for the in between time? What is realistic?

emcap Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I had each child keep their books in backpacks and I kept my teachers manuals, schedule, etc. in a crate. It worked out well and kept thing organized. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abba12 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I'd take it as a perfect time to do a unit study! Find a nice 8 week self-contained study, collect all the necessary items and put them in a separate box. Then you don't have to worry about all the different subjects, keeping up and timetables. The only thing is you may need to prepare some math worksheets, but even then, you might be able to take a break from normal math for something else, like a block of LOF. By the time the unit study is complete, hopefully you'll be ready to get back to a proper routine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang!Zoom! Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 Prince Charming had a good idea, and that was to rent a UPS box prior to getting there, have the books shipped ahead of us and waiting that were critical. I have never had a pack it up for you move done before. No idea how long the transport of her "books/stuff" could take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.Gregg Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I've moved 4 times in the last 2 yrs (with a 5th move planned in the spring). What I found most helpful after our 2nd move in regards to school work was to have the next 3 months of works with corrisponding supports immediately available. That meant that I had each child with a rubbermaid tote for their immediate (3mos) worth of work. Read alouds I planned to read, art supplies, any Sci. kit we would be working on etc. The rest I packed up and labeled REALLY well. By doing the next 3mos worth it gave me a bit of a coushion if we/I got behind in unpacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
