Organization. Yep, organization. This word has become my mantra. Each year about this time this dreaded word hangs over my head, it follows me around, it calls my name. But this year I have embraced the homeschoolers o-word. It has taken some time to get here but I'm here. I have shrugged my shoulders at the voice telling me there are so many other things I could be doing besides going through my stuff and sorting and putting things were they should have put to begin with, donating the things I haven't touched in a year and packing away the curriculum I know I won't be using - - all this takes a lot of time and hey it's still summer!
But here's the deal, when I do all this my school year is 10 times better. I have more focus, all the books on my homeschool shelf support all the subjects we intend to learn this year. I save money; this year I located seven pairs of scissors, four composition notebooks, paper, pencils, working markers, drawing pencils the list goes on and on. And I return all those materials my fellow homeschoolers have generously shared with me over the previous year.
We are counting down to the school year here and each day embracing the o-word and I can honestly say that homeschooling gets easier each year. Okay, the organizing part at least . . . .
