We start school again in four days. Four days! The sweet girl couldn't be more excited. While I've been printing daily schedules, setting up notebooks, re-organizing our shelves and doing other things to get ready, she's been gathering supplies for her school box and decorating it. Her annual school box is one of those sturdy plastic boxes you can buy for a $1 at Staples. This year she has covered it in stickers and adorned it with a name tag. One of the stickers reads "Congratulations!" which she said she put on there to celebrate going into third grade.
I've been planning lots of posts, mentally at least, about our school plans, but I've been too busy this week actually implementing them to write about them. Still, I am feeling much better this year, than in years past, about my attempts to organize and set up record-keeping. Most of all, I am just excited...as excited as S. is...to get started again.
Wherever you and your family may be in the "back to school" process -- blessings!

We do all children a massive disservice when we "chew" over the material and "spit the pulp" out for them. People reject the secondhand results of someone else's efforts. No, let the children remember because they took it in themselves. Let them think their own thoughts about it. Let them respond in narration, with questions, with... ideas. -Susan Schaeffer Macaulay
