October 3in30 Week 1

My goals for this month are-

1. Stay consistent with homeschool record keeping.

Score one for Sam. I have been doing great with this one, updating grades and dates daily, and filing our schoolwork at the end of the week. I found something new to help the kids help me keep track of their work.

This basket I saw at Big Lots the other day for 9 bucks. I decided not to get it, as I didn’t have a plan for it. I couldn’t find a way to use any other office product to my liking so I went back to get it. It was $4.50 by then! It is easy for the kids to find, and they just slip their work into their folder which lives inside. The purple binder is my homeschool record binder-which is coming in a post very soon about my new binder madness. {This is my desk.}

At the end of the week we simply transfer to the student binders.

2. Wait for the Lord.

He knows better than I do. I just keep telling myself that. So far, I have had much peace. I wasn’t expecting that.

Thank you, Lord, for always having your arms around me.

 

3. Classroom changes.

I already finished this one!! I finished it last week, while I was thinking about it, the same day I put up the post.

The before-

I love the feel, but need a place for a whiteboard.

The during-

This is why I didn’t want to do this! I knew it would look so bad while we moved four bookcases around!

The after-

It feels a bit less homey, but I have time to work on that. The important thing is I have a whiteboard space!

The white bookcase got moved into the little nook where the other bedrooms and bathroom meet.

Our manipulatives, folders, games, laminator, etc.

Our main table, I pull up one of the swivel chairs to join in.

Our calendar, “What Comes Next” schedule, a small white board for our Scripture of the week, our supply cabinet.

This first week of October has gone really well for me. How are your goals coming along?
