My kids started a new school last week, more than 1700 miles away from their old friends and familiar territory. They were beyond excited to ride the school bus and to make new friends. They are already in love with the school and the playground that was installed just a month or two ago.
Here at home it takes a little more than a school bus and a shiny new school to get things running. That's why it is so important to me that the kids have a dedicated backpack zone, homework station and paper bin. I am all about setting a routine for consistency and so that everyone knows what to expect. Since the Summer Fun schedule seemed to work so well, I made a schedule for the School Days too.
I also enlisted hubby's help to create the perfect backpack zone. There is a hook for each child (even the ones who aren't in school yet), bulletin boards and a magnetic dry erase board to keep track of school activities or other reminders.
