It is that time of year again - time to plan for our new homeschool year. This begins our 5th year homeschooling and each year it gets just a little bit easier - planning wise.

I am excited for a new year to begin especially after attending our small homeschool group meeting last night. We are beginning our third year together with the addition of a few new faces. It is always wonderful to get together with these ladies and hear everyone's plans and how God is working in their lives. Next week I will attend our church's homeschool support group. I have taken on the role of Field Trip Coordinator this year and I can't wait to tell everyone about the fun trips we have planned.
HOw fun! I am doing the very same thing - making my plans and getting things ready. We are using MANY of the same items you are and I will also have a 4th and 2nd grader! I hope to post more about our HS days this year and look forward to hearing how your year goes as well!

WOW! Nice schedule. How do you do the bible study for your younger one? This year my girl wants to go to regular school which happens to be right next door. But I would love to incorporate a bible study lesson for her at home.
ReplyDeleteHi Alicia, stopping by from new friend friday.... Thank yuo for the comment on my blog! I skimmed through yours and I believe I am going to enjoy reading it further! Keep up the great work being a Mama to 3! Its hard work!
ReplyDeleteSo, did you finish up your planning for your first six weeks? I have been trying to work through planning most of our school year. We'll see if that helps me to feel more organized. ;) (Either that, or it could be a miserable failure.)
