Our school year begins on Tuesday. Next week Finn has his first-ever piano lesson, we have our first Classical Conversations class of the new year, and our first soccer game of the year (my husband is the coach). My best friend is also moving to a different state on Tuesday/Wednesday (and her son is Finn's best friend), and my grandfather just broke his hand and foot and is in a wheelchair. I think the week will be highly emotional, busy as we get into the groove of new activities, and will entail at least one or two visits to my grandmother and/or grandfather.
In order to be kind and gentle to myself and everyone else, we are easing into the school year. I want to have time next week to focus on relationships (goodbyes to our friends, and pie-baking and cheer-bringing to my grandparents).
Next week we'll:
*put people above to-do lists
*have our first piano lesson
*get into the routine of art, piano, soccer practice, soccer game, and homeschool group
*get into the routine of practicing piano *every day*
*gently start back up with some Miquon math work
*focus on learning to efficiently do our new morning chores (I'm adding a few for Finn this year)
*give grace to everyone!
"And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart." --Galatians 6:9
