WTMindy Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 We aren't starting until Sept. 8 because I have a bunch of meetings for my job the week after Labor Day. I'm actually feeling ready to start....but I am enjoying the end of my summer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelingChris Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 We had our catastrophe with homeschool academy so we are up in the air. DD 15 is starting cc next Monday for one class. I have current math curriculum I am using with oth girls. Younger dd is still finishing last year's science. I am having dd 15 read Stephen King's On Writing to start of her English while I decide on what to do next. She read a lot while waiting for her learner's permit today. DD 15 is having shoulder surgery next Friday so I have decided reluctantly not to start everything back until Labor Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon H in IL Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Tomorrow we put oldest on the plane back to school, Monday we start back up. I imagine it'll be a slow start, but a start nonetheless. So, will our party slow down? It's been a really fun WTM new board summer! Heck no. Starting school before Labor Day is just WRONG. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaceyinLA Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I haven't even bought curriculum yet! I was going to order today, but I have this dilemma with 17yodd and what I'm going to do with her... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Hood Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 There is no start in sight here. Yikes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivetails Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 We've had a bit of a summer program going (school lite?), but we don't "officially" start fulltime until September :) -- we tend to follow the ps schedule because we have one hs'er (dd11) and one ps'er (ds9), plus *all* of the 'friends' (neighbourhood swarming with kids) are ps'ers.

kat19 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I would like to start up on Monday but depends on how I feel since I had surgery on Thursday. We might just get our binders together and go over things. The kids can do their planners and so on.. Hopefully :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglei Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 After Labor Day - always! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Well, let me ask you this: Can a body START school w/ mil here? I assume no. I mean, my grandparents came for a couple of hrs & I thought I might need to go to the ER afterward for heart palpitations. So mil for 3 dyas? Probably not going to happen.

cin Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I was planning on starting Monday, but DH is taking the kids to Kings Island Wednesday and we are going to the pool on Friday (a big deal, it'll be the whole day) and I think we have a Dentist's appt on Thursday, so I'm not sure what we're going to do....I think I'll go ahead and start. It'll just be a light week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzie in Ma Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Our annual 2 week church camping trip is the 20th-the 2nd. (composting toilet, no running water) I am not usually at my best for at least a week after that so we will most likely begin on the 8th of September. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trivium Academy Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 We're finishing 2nd grade core: Math, Ind. Reading, and Primary Language Lessons right now. Our official first day of the new year is Sept. 15th. I'm glad that we're doing school light right now, it'll allow us to have full days to start off with. We took a lot of time off for life this past year, MIL's passing, my 13 year old dog's passing, moving, dh's back surgery...what a year.

Titus.Two.Five Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Well, I was going to start on Monday, the 18th. However, I suddenly developed an abcessed tooth, so my Monday will be spent at the dentist. :001_huh: I am also waiting on a few materials yet, so if they are all in this coming week we'll jump in Thursday, otherwise it will be Monday, the 25th.

sweetbaby Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 We homeschool year round so there is no end in sight. :D But our we will start some of our new 'stuff' in early in October. Our years run Jan-Nov but it looks like we may finish some subjects a little earlier than planned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeke Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 We have a camping trip from September 1-5th with some other home schoolers, then we start back the following Monday, the 8th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in SC Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 We have yet to start. Gameplan: clean house thoroughly today saving the library (aka school headquarters or hotspot, take your pick) for last. When that room is completely functional, *then* I will be reporting for last year, mapping out the new year, and then finalizing the daily plan. *Hopefully*, we'll be up and running by the end of next week! :-P (The good news - I have all of our materials in hand).

Vicki Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 We start back to co-op classes this Thursday. We start everything else the day after Labor Day. God bless, Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty ethel rackham Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Our public schools start on Tuesday here. We will start school "lite" next week. I am not done planning (or even purchasing) so we will start a full schedule after Labor Day. That usually works best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 We start on Monday. We've been off for six weeks, over the move, so this is going to be a shock. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
