I'm so excited! Alaina's books came today!! I already got the workbooks I'll be using with Taryn for preschool so we're all set. I was planning on starting school Wednesday but now I'm thinking Monday! I can't wait to get started. The girls may think differently since this will be their first school experience but they were as excited about the books as I was. Alaina immediately asked to look through her books and of course that meant that Taryn needed me to pull hers out so she could go through them. I think that's a good sign for the year to come.
I'm really hoping to make this as fun for them as possible. I've already come up with a schedule for the school days. It will probably have to be tweaked a little since we're new to this but for right now it looks good. I've seen talk of work boxes and I want to do them next year since we'll have more books but for this year I'm using binders. I guess it's kind of the same thing. It will let them know where they are in their school day so they can keep track.
Alaina's so eager to learn! She wanted to start today but I need time to go through the books and get my lesson plans in order. It is going to be so much fun teaching her! Taryn is another story all together. She is very, very smart but not quite as eager to take direction so I'm hoping the preschool we're doing will get her more adjusted to the idea. Wish us luck!
