And It Begins!

I feel a little behind.

People always ask if Nora will be going into kindergarten this year, and with relief I say, "no, she won't be old enough, her birthday is in November."  That relief is because she misses the school system's "cutoff" for kindergarten by age.  So for quite some time I've felt that it's okay that I'm not on top of my preparations for homeschool because she still has a whole year before she would officially enter kindergarten anyway.

I don't know why I haven't realized that it doesn't matter that Nora wouldn't be starting kindergarten in public schools this year.  I can still teach her "kindergarten" at home, and not wait until next year.  WOW.  She is so ready for it as well.

So I've been all over the place researching and reading through an endless amount of homeschool information.  This is so hard!

Our Plan:
School begins September 6th.

My goals for this week:
Determine what reading materials we will be covering this first year.
Determine what subjects we will be studying.
Research developing good habits.
Learn about nature study that is appropriate for kindergarten age.
Feel more prepared!
