Gearing up for 2008-2009

While we're taking a break from "school" mode, I'm taking the opportunity to prep when and if I feel like it. I enjoy the oppotunity to do it without pressure, and of course with MFW prep is at most getting supplies together for the year.

Our 2008-2009 year will be MFWK and MFW 1st so when I'm done with the supply lists, I'll post them as resources for future use. I plan on putting the supplies for each week in a labeled Ziploc bag so that when we get there, we just pull it out and do it. I also plan on making all copies and everything else needed for the entire year otherwise we'll jsut skip over those things!

To Do
1) Spend some time in prayer asking the Lord for guidance and leaving the next school year in His hands.
2) Make lists of supplies needed and copies to be made.
3) Schedule a shopping trip (without kids!) where I can buy everything needed.
4) Scheulde an appointment with hubby to enlist his help with the tweaks needed (e.g. cutting plywood to size etc).
5) Create a daily schedule.
6) Decide on extra curricular activities.

I'd love to hear how you get ready for the coming school year, so if you stop by, please be sure to mention your number one prep step!
