Another Day Another Week... Of School!

Hi good morning and welcome to Classy Classic's By Kandis! I am a mother of 4 wonderfully energetic children. Two of my children go to school. My oldest she is in grade 5 this year and my oldest boy is in grade 4!

Can you believe its the middle of September!

This is marking our second full well in school! I was sitting down the other day, finally getting to watch some of my YouTube videos, and a lady who I love to watch... Sam from Happily A Housewife had a video on about school, and routines and getting back into it. As I was watching this, I thought I would do a blog on back to school.

Now, I decided this before but my ideas had changed as she said at the end of hers the first week goes smooth.
Everything is on time and routines are smooth, and life is great. It's when after when things are going back to normal, and it's not as new is when you can see if your routines work for you!

Now I agree, however I am writing about back to school, with routines and adjusting.

We had a great first full week I school, kids where not late, even with riding the bus, they have had their lunches ready the night before and bags are hung by the door!

They have gone threw some cute new clothes and starting to get their homework, and words for their spelling tests.
They have spelling test every week and I've been waiting for this as they need them, it has been added to the routines, which are still not ready!

First full week not bad, mind is blurry as we are still doing some extra stuff, mamma has mentally noted some routine changes that is needed from last year to this year. But, all in all not to bad.

Here is where I will tell you as the first week yes, usually is smooth, as the mother we tend to do it for them tho. The first week as we want and need it to go good, we tend to take on more of their stuff. Well at least here I sure did. To a degree anyways.

Starting the second week of school, all of a sudden the kids didn't have their agendas, had to pack their lunches in the morning and didn't study for the spelling test. As my boy has his tests on Tuesday's!

How has everything just went down hill, I realize that our routines are a very important part here. The routines will for the most part stay they same.
However there is some changes! This is on my list to do, write out our routines and zones again.
This is the next blog.... all about those routines!

With school tho, it's funny how the first week was great and now it's not. I know we need our routines but the extent is intreging on how it helps us. To have a smooth day, starting at 7:30 am if not before.

Even with not  much changing, without having it there it's like they just forgot how to manage. We all require some guidance, but really just make your bed and brush your teeth!

How do you feel about your school routines and scheduling?
Good to go, needs adjusting, or a whole new set up?
