This week is Spring Break for our girls. With Sara missing over two months of school this year due to illness, we are doing a mini-intensive home schooling this week. In preparation, I created a Goal List; a list of activities that we need to accomplish by the end of the week. There is a lot to do, so we really don’t have much time to waste; but we don’t want to feel rushed or overwhelmed either.
As I put together lesson plans, organized materials, planned how (and when) to do the lessons, I can’t help but remember the amazing time that Sara and I had last year in summer school. How she went from really not ready for second grade to quite capable in second grade in a few months. With summer just a few short months away, I look forward with eager anticipation to summer school 2014. As an extra inspiration, when we began doing our lessons, Sara said “this is what we do during the summer (not spring break).” I love that she connected our lessons with summer.
This year, unlike last, I have a good idea of the objectives, curriculum and methods. If we can make good progress quickly, I have some special lessons that I’m dying to teach.
Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established. Proverbs 16:3
