Planning and Organizing

This week is a planning week.

I am getting the kids’ notebooks and schedules in order for the next school year. Even though we school year round, the big sales are going on, so we stock up on most of our supplies, now. I also have to order many of our math books and science things, since the kids go at their own pace and are going to finish earlier than expected.

I’ve got to decide what I’m doing with the Sarge for science this year. (Probably Biology I…. but maybe Chemistry) He’s also going to be in a speech/writing class (Yay, someone else gets to force encourage him to write something!)

The Gremlin is flying through his math books and will be moving beyond his grade soon. The kid blows my mind with his math skills! He definitely got his math genes from his daddy.

The Imp is doing much better this year. Reading for fun all summer has helped her confidence and sight word skills. She isn’t sure what subjects she likes best yet, but seems to be doing well over all. Yay, we have made it past the reading hurdle!

Lesson plans for my co-op history class are in the works too. I try to make history fun, since I HATED it as a kid. This week we will be trying some medieval recipes and looking for more props and activities with fire and weapons to use throughout the year.
