Yep, today is the official start of the school year! Part of me is excited, part is a bit apprehensive, and a large part of me just wants to go back to bed! For this family, life doesn’t ever stop, so starting school doesn’t make my days easier. It actually makes them shorter! So, up earlier I go. I get up around 4:30-5:00…and today, I am not ready for it! Coffee, here I come!
Our books came in the middle of August, and we actually started doing some school then. Math especially was review for both Goob and Princess, so we got the first unit done and out of the way. Yay! Now, we are going to start Language, Science and History. Right now, our schedule looks like this: Language and Math, everyday. History is every Tuesday and Thursday. I love history, so I am excited about that! Science is every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I hate Science, so I’m not excited about that! However, doing it three times a week will help us spend more time on the experiments and such. Art is Monday and Friday.
So, goodbye to all the sun (it’s currently raining and cold, with no end in sight). Good-bye to lazy days of playing outside and gardening. Goodbye to all the pretty flowers (ok, that actually makes me a bit sad!) Hello to crisp days. Hello to new leaf colors. Hello to later sunrises! Hello to my kids, who I get to watch as they learn something new every day!
