August 09 So tell meI loved back to school time as a child. The smell of new notebooks and crayons, the hours I spent finding that perfect outfit for the first day; When that day finally arrived I could hardly eat breakfast! Now as a homeschool parent, not much has changed. I still love the smell of school supplies and I spend hours planning the perfect day. I do, however, eat breakfast, its one of our first day traditions. This is what the first day of school looks like at our house...
I get up early and put a quick bread in the oven. Its some sort of spice bread so that the scent will fill the house and signal little noses that its time to wake up. As the bread cooks and smells yummy, I brew my coffee. Slowly, two sets of sleepy eyes come down stairs dressed in a new outfit( usually shorts and a top bought on clearence!). Bread is served with juice(coffee for me!) and fruit. As the girls pick up from breakfast, I get out the new school supplies and books, most of which I have kept hidden until this morning. We go over what we will be learning, lable notebooks and look at books. We have a basics review ( times tables, handwriting etc...) and end the day outside. We either go to the park or go for a walk, we just find away to breathe and prepare for the upcoming school year. So tell me, what does the first day of school look like at your house? PS
Christine, I am going with your suggestion for math ...cant wait to try it out!
