Real Life has been happening around here in the form of Back to School busy-ness. For the first couple of weeks, I hit the floor running and don’t stop until I collapse into bed at night. I like to start the school year with most of our work organized, but the days leading up to the first day of school can look a bit scary.
This was my desk, piled with (some of) the work to be sorted & filed:
I am going to turn the tables and ask YOU about Real Life and back-to-school.
Do you plan out your year, or just wing it?
I do a little of both. I divide up our books/workbooks by weeks and map out a general plan, but then give myself the freedom to add things or rearrange throughout the year.
Do you have to make a mess to get organized, or does the chaos drive you crazy?
I need to have everything piled up in front of me before I can start putting it in order.
How long does it take you to get back into the swing of things?
It takes us about two weeks of everyone moaning on the couch each morning before it becomes routine.
{Real Life Homeschooling} is a monthly blog hop that I co-host with 20+ bloggers. It is about turning the world into our classroom and showing how homeschooling happens in real life as well as during “school hours” .
We invite you to link up your Real Life Homeschooling posts!!
