What did children do before TV, game stations, computers, cell phones? They played.
This school year things will be different at the Moomaw house. No TV until the weekend when we will watch a program as a family, one hour a week on the game station, and thirty minutes on Facebook. Ouch! That hurts! The parents have to set the example.
Our school day will begin at 8 am and end a 1 pm. Then its outside to play and exercise our bodies. Yes, that goes for mom as well.
All of our school materials have arrived, organized, and ready. But, as promised earlier, I have not written any lesson plans. I've made a schedule to follow. We will do as much as possible within a certain time frame. Then move on to the next subject, at 1 pm the books are put away.
My kids are excited about this approach. I admit I'm nervous. Will it work? Is this really reducing my stress? I guess we will begin to find out on August 16th, our first day back to school.
