Yep, we have two weeks till our first official day of our first year using AO. I'm excited. We celebrated a wonderful 4th of July and are now head long into preparing for our first week. I've been trying so hard to get a schedule put together, trying to figure out when to do everything and what days. It's going to be a great schedule, as it looks right now. I'm just trying to figure out how to make it all work with an anxious pre-schooler (Flopsy) and an ever growing mischevious toddler (Peter Rabbit). I'm not too concerned though. God will guide us.
We purchased "school suppplies" yesterday. It was fun for the kids to pick out new folders, notebooks, and pencils for the new year starting so soon. We have also decided on our selections for term 1 composer study, and the print selections for picture study. This first term, we are not going to follow the suggestions for these two. Since we will be reading Mid-Summer Nights Dream in Shakespear, we are going to listen to Mendelssohn and use his Wedding March during that story. We will be looking at the artwork of Monet now as opposed to term 3 because there is an extremely large work of his "Water Lillies" at the museum in KC and we may be moving very soon. I wanted to give the kids a definite opportunity to see a work that we will be studying in person. How fantastic will that be?!
I've just about got everything in place and I think I can say,
I'M READY, BRING IT ON!
Yay!
