A New Homeschooling Year

A new school year is under way! I've spent the whole summer planning, gathering materials, books and crafts for this upcoming year. Now the planning is over and it's time to execute!

We'll be using workboxes to organize our homeschool and this will be our third year using Five in a Row. A7 will be starting 2nd grade and X4 soon to be X5 will be starting Kindergarten!

We'll be starting school the 17th, two weeks before the schools in the area which are starting the 31st. I've been announcing it to the kids every morning this past week, "First day of school next Monday!" They are very excited about it! We should be done by 1 o'clock every day(X4 will be done way earlier than that) which leaves plenty of time for playing with their friends and going to the pool if it gets too hot.

I'll be posting our plans for this week for both kids in the next couple of days.
