I had such a hard time going to work last night and leaving all of my new school stuff behind. And I am having a time getting to sit down and really pour over everything like I want to today. So maybe when they go to bed Bob and I can both go over stuff, especially the instructor's guide. Bob was so impressed that the history book has info about the Vikings exploring America before Columbus.
I was so happy that the boys were excited about getting our curriculum last night. I had this deep, dark fear that they'd open the boxes and just be nonchalant about it and wander off. I feel even better about homeschooling knowing that my boys are looking forward to it. Owen has already asked me if we can do school now, just a little bit, today. Our plan is to start on September 7th. My job should be ended by then and I will have plenty of time to devote to teaching! And we will have to time to go over all the materials and finish getting set up. Oh boy. What have we gotten into? I don't know but I know I'm happy and so is my family.
[smile] Glad you're all really excited about this coming year. May it be even better than your expectations (even with the hard days).
ReplyDeleteI will admit: My first Box Day--with our pseudo-foster girls--was a major letdown, especially after reading other stories (like yours). But, we pressed on and the girls ended up wanting to read all the time [smile].
