I am so excited about teaching G this Fall. As if I haven't been teaching him for five years... this feels different. I am "nesting" our office and trying to get organized. I have been scouring the basement for books I know I used in my classroom but have been tucked away for four years. I am trying not to overwhelm myself but I am a planner and it is already starting to invade my thinking. I have to keep reminding myself of my goals for the year... Teach him to read and do basic math. Everything else in my mind it extra and fun so I want to keep my planning of those activities fun, too.
As I reread that last sentence, I just giggle. Who am I kidding? I am a serious planner. I get a natural high from it. There is no keeping it fun.. LOL Just check out my quote at the bottom of the blog. I hope to share my plans here as they evolve over the summer. I would love to see other's plans as well. Please leave a link with your comments.

I love your quote! I, too, love planning! In fact, I plan lots more than I teach. But, we still get a lot done, too. It is fun, isn't it???
I love to plan! That is what I miss the most about my PS classroom.
I just saw your comment at Mother Crone. I am excited to find another homeschooling a first young child. I would like to think of myself as a planner but right now I do my best to plan the week ahead.
We are reading Frog and Toad Together again this week. I like your quote at the bottom of the page. That is how I am feeling right now about staying ahead of my child.
Come visit me. My blogroll has several moms who are homeschooling K and 1. I am homeschooling a precocious (and I am using that in the truest sense) preschooler.
I would love to read your thoughts about The Ordinary Person's Guide to Teaching Reading.
I look forward to reading more.
