Eight days left until school starts. I'm happy and sad about it. This week will be a hustle and bustle of final preparation for school. Mark will be in 11th, Savannah in 8th, Wynter in 4th, Hunter in 2nd and Micah in Kindergarten. I hope it's a great school year!
This year I want to stay on top of the kids to stay on top of their homework. That was a bit of a problem last year. I will also be keeping track of their grades, etc. on the Nebo website. I also have a goal to walk my 3 youngest to school (Hunter and Wynter in the am and Micah in the afternoon for pm kindergarten) as well as walk to pick them up. That would be 3 round trips daily to the school for a total of 45 minutes of walking.
I've got 5 kids in 3 different schools. Uggg. It can be daunting to keep track of everything and everyone, but I am going to put phone numbers for the schools, teachers names and school times on one sheet of paper that I put in the kitchen. All three schools begin and end at different times!
Everyone is excited to get back to school except for Mark. I will miss them all being home, but I look forward to having a more predictable schedule and having a little peace and quiet each day (except that Lincoln isn't the quietest child, but he still takes naps).
Here's to a great school year...2010/2011!
Having kids in three different schools was the busiest time for me. It is hard. Good luck and have a great school year. My baby is a senior this year and then they will all be in college. Kind of a sad phase in my life. I plan on enjoying this year too!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize my kids are in all the same grades as yours except for my oldest, who is a sophomore rather than a junior. They start this week -- the girls on Wed and the boys on Thursday.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy all the excitement leading up to the start of school. I'm sure it will be nice to have a few hours of quiet everyday! (I'm the crazy momma who's homeschooling the 4 girls this year. No p & q here!)
Have a great week!
