Nose to the Grind-Stone

We officially start school tomorrow. Things were put off slightly when our books didn't arrive on time. In fact, some of them are not yet here! Argh! It will be a slow and easy transition for us. I am planning on a thorough review of the Hooked on Phonics with my Preschooler. My first grader will start her language arts curriculum as well. We are doing a notebooking curriculum this year, so they will also have the opportunity to decorate their notebooks any way they want. I find that my kids love being able to personalize things and take charge - even if it is of something as insignificant as their notebooks. We are all ready and excited to start the new year!
