Yesterday was our first day at co-op. After arriving early for teacher meeting, staying in between scouts for dinner, cub scouts and then loading popcorn we were at Spring Creek for 9 hours! That's not the norm, thank goodness! We all slept a little late today and I postponed exercising till this afternoon. That isn't a good option. Do-able but not preferred. (mental note to keep getting up to exercise! It helps my whole day!) We've been back at homeschooling for a few weeks, about the end of July and I'm frantically trying to finish our 2nd grade curriculum. We've kept up with reading & math all along but the actual curriculum we have 2 more weeks. I can't just stop or we'll be missing 4 states in our U.S Notebook. We'll plan to officially start 3rd grade September 5th. Yes, Labor day! We'll ease into our crazy busy schedule. This week & next week we have co-op and Classical Conversations. Then the following week will begin Garrett's new reading class at Science, Etc and CC but no co-op due to Labor day. So the official crazy schedule won't begin till the week after Labor day and I should be in a good routine by then! (we hope). I'm very excited and anxious about this year. We have a little bit of strife lately. Thankfully no longer over school but more about discipline and obedience overall. Garrett's finally seeing he loves being home schooled and the many freedoms, opportunities and family time we have. I'm praying God will help us both with patience, kindness, respect, love and mercy. Some days have been tough! Although we never officially took break it seems appropriate to say, Happy Back to School!
