The Coming Year

When we decided to homeschool, the girls' family was currently living with us. Things were crowded and disorganized. As a result, we set up homeschooling wherever there was a spot. I wasn't as focused as I should have been but even with these problems, I know that all three girls made huge strides, especially in the areas they were having problems with.

Now we have converted the dining room into a classroom....white boards and all. I still have to move a computer and finish putting some things away but the girls and I both are excited. I have decided to use Homeschool Tracker to keep track of grades, lesson plans, lessons finished, field trips, etc. I have already begun to write lesson plans for next year. We will begin school on August 10. Meanwhile the girls are visiting their other grandma one at a time. That leaves me with two girls......for some reason that is so much easier.

Today I hope to get things put away and the computer moved.
