Box Day
What is Box Day you ask? The day we get our Sonlight Curriculum for the new school year. Camryn only had 2 books in this order but was so excited to see them. Her books were~ Eloise Wilkin, 9 stories in one book from Golden Books. I am old enough as well as young enough to have heard a few of these when I was a little girl. the other book is one I hadn’t heard of before: Milly Molly Mandy Stories. But since both are of girls I’m sure they will be a hit with her. We also bought a microscope this year, The boys are so excited to use it. They will have to wait a bit though, we have to get a few things done first. Also I ordered a Botany slide set from Rainbow Resource Center and it is not here yet. Noah and I just looked over his books and he seems excited. He liked many of them and that is a great thing to have in a child. Now to wait for our order from Rainbow Resource Center, that order should be more exciting for the kids.
My kids have mixed emotions about when school books arrive, excitement over new books and disappointment over the meaning behind the books – school starting again.
I’ll begin looking, planning and ordering what we’ll need for next year.
So far that is not a problem since we order so early and they know they do get a break in the summer even if it is a short one. That seems to help them be excited. Don’t know really why they don’t dread school at the beginning but they don’t. That usually hits mid year!!!
