First time visitor here too, but finding lots of common ground~ Love having ANY curriculum on cd that we can (couldn't do without our Story of the World on cd! it helps me so much)! Also, for the first time, this year, I made all my copies at the beginning of the school year, and that has been a time-saver. <br />Another short-cut I used this year was to tear my kids' workbook pages out and hole punch them to go into binders. I now have a phonics, grammar and reading practice binder, and another one for our math and history pages/activity sheets. I am so loving having several booklets combined this year. <br />We do a Sabbath School Year schedule where we work for 6 weeks, then take 1 full week off (we only take about 6 weeks off in summer, but enjoy 3 full weeks at Christmas time). I share this schedule with the other 3 moms in our "co-op" group. It helps us all to know a break is coming and keeps us working hard until then. On our weeks off, we come together to plan ahead (similar to you). These things are making for a much easier school year so far (we are about 6 weeks in). Blessings and I will certainly be back to visit often! ~JoannaCrafty Homeschool Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06409051878539588505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8883122216030620634.post-55387830001841916612013-09-07T21:28:54.778-07:002013-09-07T21:28:54.778-07:00I'm not yet homeschooling, but am looking forw...I'm not yet homeschooling, but am looking forward to the start of it in just a few years.
