Autumn Adjustments

Fun with Pluto on Main Street USA!
Where does the time fly? In the past few months we ordered (and received) our curriculum, put our house on the market, packed up and moved to Tennessee, and took a side trip to Florida for our son's "1st Trip" to Disneyworld! It's been a few months packed full of activities!

Before the packers arrived, I dutifully worked out our first 8 weeks  homeschool schedule. What's that saying about the "best laid schemes of mice and men?" You get the idea...we are a little behind, but not as badly as we might have been if I hadn't pre-planned. Have you haven't tried using a Homeschool Planner?  I definitely recommend trying one. There are several available on-line (both free and for purchase), but this year I purchased "The Old Schoolhouse Planner". I was totally amazed by the amount of information included in the planner, and the way the pages can easily be adapted for families with one or several children. You can learn more about this planner at: www.theoldschoolhousestore.com.

Moving from one state to another, and one home school group to another, has been an adjustment for us. I was a little nervous at first, but the homeschool representative with our local school system was very helpful and the transition was easy. Our new homeschool group is going to be visiting a pumpkin patch next week, so we are excited to participate in that field trip! 


Change can bring growth and new opportunities, and we are looking forward to both in our new home!
