Here we go again!

Well, we took the summer off (if by taking it off you mean camps, playdates, VBS, horseback riding, musical rehearsal, traveling to see family, swimming, and sleepovers).

I thought we would start back July 15, then Aug 1, then Aug 15, but we are set to start on Tuesday.  In many ways it makes sense to school when it's so hot here (107 today) but all our friends are home and wanting to play, so we will just start when they do.

Our school room is ready to go!  Here it is...


This year, I cut the spines off of almost all our books and put them in notebooks.  Then, I pulled out 6 weeks of work at a time and put them into folders.




Our big purchase this year - check out that dry-erase board!  Yay!  
Thanks to Daddy for uncrating 3 of those bad boys (2 were donated due to scratches and dents)!


These are Lucy's shelves - I have put quite a bit of time into making materials for her.  Some will be very typical Montessori, some preschool skills, some Kindergarten work, but I hope to rotate them enough so that she will stay engaged when I am working with Zoe.

  1. Yea! You are back! The room looks great. The arrangement looks good---I am glad you left it like that; it will work great for them both. I know it will be a great year.
