Getting Ready for a New School Year

*I actually did all of this back in July, but I am just now getting around to writing about it.*

This will be our first year homeschooling everyone!  Mackenzie is coming back home and Ava Marie who went to half day Kindergarten last year at out local public school will be a full time First grader here!

I will admit now that I am pretty scared!  I have never had all of them home together for school except on Snow days or public school holidays.  But I am led to do this by the Lord and I know He has my back on this!

So, back to my planning sessions:

1.  Check in all of the books from Sonlight.
2.  Set up all of the Binders.
3.  Put away last years curriculum.
4.  Put this years curriculum on the shelves.
5.  Write Daily Schedule for our homeschool.
6.  Put together 12 Busy Boxes for the Boys.

We always buy new binders for each year.  This year we bought Aqua Blue for Katy and Mackenzie and Lavendar for Madyson and Ava Marie!

Can I say this is one of my favorite parts of homeschooling?!  I am such a Binder Nerd!

Katy and Mackenzie's books for 9th and 6th Grade.  They are both studying Core G History of the World Part 1.

Ava Marie's books for 1st Grade.  She is studying Core B History of the World.

Madyson's books for 5th Grade.  She is also studying Core B History of the World.

Now that the books are all organized, I need to focus on my Daily Schedule and the Busy Boxes for the Boys!
