… and I only have a few pieces, so far. That was what day one of homeschooling was like.
Day one went pretty well. The kids were eager to get started, and they were ready and willing well before it was time to start. I was excited, and wanted to start early, too, but the husband said that it was probably a better idea if we start when we’re supposed to (9 am), and after I thought about it, yeah. He’s right.
I was kinda nervous. More because I just wasn’t sure, really, how this was going to play out. We started with the general outline of how our days were going to go. I had them write in journals they’re going to keep during the school year, and then we discussed what they wrote. They seemed eager to start doing some work, and even though I hadn’t really PLANNED on doing work today… well, why not?
The room isn’t totally set up yet, I don’t have all the stuff I need for their schooling, I kinda feel clueless about the whole thing… but…
that’s alright. We’ll figure it out; of that, I have no doubt.
You'll find your groove! It took me pretty much the first year to get organized and we were doing a virtual charter school, which meant all of the work was done for us. It's much more difficult (and daunting) to do it on your own. But I have no doubts that you'll figure it all out and have things running smoothly in no time!
