Staff, Please Report to the Office...

After today, my summer break is over. All... well almost all of my curriculum is here. (I am still looking for a good foreign language "Spanish" curriculum. By good I mean a program that can be adjusted over 1st, 5th and 10th grade and is cheap/free.) Switched-On Schoolhouse has been loaded for 5th and 10th grade and I have browsed through my teacher guides for 1st grade Lifepac. My orientation letters are complete and will be mailed out next week. Available classes are listed.
The children pick the order of classes during orientation.

I am still tweaking homework schedules, but they are pretty standard.

My son made two desk last year as part of his woodworking. He will need to make another as my 1st grader does not want to use his Spiderman table any more (they grow up so fast LOL).

I need to start/finish lesson planning for state history and take the time to adjust the SOS Curriculum to fit our needs (not difficult, but time consuming) to be ready for a Sept. 2nd start. Believe it or not, my crew is asking for an early start! I hope their enthusiasm last past the 1st week. LOL
