As we approach our starting date for school Bumblebee and I get even more excited. She asks every day if we can school now. :)
I am starting to get my stuff all organized and have tried a few different things but none seem to be a set up that works with me. We are not workbox type people I can tell that all ready. I like to have everything we need for the day in one place so I will be setting it all out the night before. I have a mild case of OCD when it comes to certain things and this is one of them.
I went school supply shopping the other day. Spent less then $30.00 and got everything we need except mass amounts of paper even got a medium sized milk crate for .99 and a large tote with a lid for 4 dollars at staples. What a great find that was since they are usually so expensive.
I put all of her books for day to day use in the tote with the milk crate in the middle full of the artsy/crafty stuff in it. That way everything is all together and Ladybug can't get into it. I will store it either on the table or under. Since we don't have a room just for schooling this seems to be best for us.
With Heart of Dakota everything is all laid out for you so all you have to do is read the Teachers Manual so to make it a little easier on me to get to the page I need I took it to be spiral bound. I removed the cover myself and used a blow dryer to heat the glue up so I could remove the pages I didn't need. The lady at staples made an honest mistake and put the rhymes back in with the guide instead of having them 3 hole punched but I am kind of glad she did. Now they are all still together and with it being spiraled its not to bad to open to them.
I don't know what day we are going to start but I know we are both ready and excited about it.
