1st Day of School 2010
We just completed our first week of school for the 2010-2011 school year! Princess -1st grade, Lego – 2nd grade, Laser – 5th grade and Bookworm – 6th grade. I can’t believe my children are already past the “learning to read” and “cut and paste” stage! Four curriculums to plan and implement.
Bookworm and Laser are both at the ages of independent learning, meaning they do a lot of work on their own with a little guidance from me. Lego and Princess require a little more of my time and attention. At the end of the day, if I’ve stayed on top of everything we’ve all had a good day.
If you’re wondering why we began so early…Summer here in Texas is hot-too hot to play outside for most of the day. The kids have had plenty of time to relax, watch alot of tv, play alot of Wii, play plenty of computer games, swim, and hang out. Bookworm had a realization that stresses the best part of starting early…”Since we had a shorter summer, I haven’t forgotten as much!” Getting back into our routine has been smooth and without the interuptions of activities and school year obligations we can hopefully get alot done. We’ll take a break at the end of August for our next family trip to SLC and when the weather cools off, we’ll have time to spare and enjoy the great outdoors.
