This post has got me thinking! I would love to do something fun to mark the "new" beginning.
Things I have already done:
--purchase new school supplies (markers, paints, nice colored pencils, paints, pencils, erasers, etc.) so something feels new.
--purchase some new educational games/toys for our school box. We have a box of toys reserved only for playing with when we are doing school and I am working with someone else
Some fun possibilities:
--A fun (easy) breakfast that is out of the ordinary for the first day.
--Streamers on our school room door (or kids bedroom doors) My kids LOVE this. Usually only reserved for their bdays.
--An end of the first week incentive (ice cream, pool, campfire and smores outside, family bike ride...)
--a new educational app. we rarely use the kindle,ipad, but with a new baby coming, I might need more options to help us get through our school day when I am distracted with new baby
--a card for each kiddo on the first day
--"school" pictures
I will have to check pinterest for more ideas. these were just off the top of my head...But i've found, simple traditions are best!
