1) I got "Welcome Back to School" letters written for the older three munchkins. I'm going to mail them this year instead of handing them out on the first day.
2) I printed out all the narration ideas & put them in a decorated coffee can. Now, when it's time for a narration, the munchkins will pick a slip & do what's listed. (Examples besides the usual retelling & dictating to mom: "Write a review of the story including a summary & your thoughts," "Predict what you think could happen next," "How would you have done things differently?" "Write an obituary for a character," & "Build a Lego or block model.")
3) School supplies & textbooks are purchased & ready to be used. I'm thinking of starting either this coming Monday or the next. It just depends on how everyone is feeling & if I can get motivated enough to get everything ready.

LOVE your list! I especially like number 2. What a great idea. My kids are going to love that! THANKS
Looks like a good week! Not sure when we will start school, so #2 looks really good to me.
Way to go! A very productive week.
Great list! I love #2! Mine are too young for school still, but I'll have to keep it in my log of 'plans for the future'
Number 2 is a great idea. I could have used something like this for this summer. I always have a hard time coming up with creative writing prompts and activities for my older daughter. I bet she'd respond better to a jar filled with ideas, of course, she'd probably try to pick all the funs ones first.
#1 is so sweet. What a loving gesture of a loving mother.
Fantastic week my friend!! Love #1. I wish I had thought of the same when I was homeschooling. #2 was fab as well. Really get the imagination going! Have a great weekend!!
Love the letter idea. What do you put it in?
Oooh, I LOVE these ideas!!! Do they work for 6 and 7 year olds? Just basic sentences?
In case I miss these ideas, you should post them in the com box of my homeschool blog lol! I need these ideas! hehehe!
