I've heard from homeschoolers that it's important to get dressed for school rather than slobbing around in PJs if you want to get anything done!</p> <p>We hope to homeschool, but my daughter might eat me for lunch. We'll see how she is in a year or two. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-day-of-school#post-1010298 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 13:09:00 +0000 Marthe 1010298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div></p> <p> <div></p> <p> <div><br /> </div></p> <p> <div></p> <p> &lt;span class="watch"&gt;</p> <p> </div></p> <p> A great casual outfit, God bless you!<br /></div></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-day-of-school#post-1010277 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 12:52:07 +0000 Raisin 1010277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute outfit! And what a great cause to support with that bag. Hats off to you for home schooling 4 kids! That must be a lot of work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-day-of-school#post-1010243 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 12:08:25 +0000 amiable 1010243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! &nbsp;My kids are in 5th, 4th, 2nd and 1st grades (plus a pre-schooler who is quite convinced he should be learning to read). &nbsp;</p> <p>Since my husband and I each work part time, we share the homeschooling duties - which is really where the complexity of homeschooling hits us - he and I are very very different teachers &nbsp;In the end, this is great for the kids, but while we're getting things figured out, it causes me a fair amount of stress.</p> <p>RC, our kids are in 5th, 4th, 2nd (but should be 3rd - she's way ahead of her age), 1st, and preschool. &nbsp;We're taking all of them through American History/Literature for the next two years (and at this point&nbsp;it's looking like it'll take us longer than two years to get through it. &nbsp;I suppose that's okay - homeschooling is designed to be flexible).</p> <p>Beth-Ann - I like the idea of doing half-days in the summer (we take days off when we want too - but usually work through the public school's days off). &nbsp;We usually intend to do something like that, but spend so much time dealing with produce that the last month or so of summer is pretty non-academic :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-day-of-school#post-1010094 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 04:02:37 +0000 RunnerChick 1010094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the Olive jacket-shirt - cool styling. Also think that the idea of getting all kids on the same history track. I'd imagine that there are a lot of opportunities for cross-grade learning. Excited to hear from you about how it goes! What grades are you working with?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-day-of-school#post-1010079 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 03:28:05 +0000 Beth Ann 1010079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh!&nbsp; A slightly RATE Ami!&nbsp; Love the bag, too!</p> <p>We do half-days of school from mid-July to Labor Day, when we go full-bore.&nbsp; I think I need the ramp up more than the kids do, and it allows for special days, like an unscheduled trip to Six Flags today.&nbsp; </p> <p>Since my kids are 6 months apart, I just promoted Eric and put them both in the same grade!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-day-of-school#post-1010062 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 03:10:36 +0000 Deborah 1010062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in sheer admiration of any one who home schools:)&nbsp; I suspect if I were to home school Master 10 he would know a lot about fashion and online shopping, but not too much about&nbsp; "the other" things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-day-of-school#post-1010050 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 02:52:30 +0000 Jaime 1010050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Home-schooling is a territory I shudder to explore.

I don't remember geometry being taught in 7th grade in my day, lol. &nbsp;Would do it again in a heartbeat. &nbsp;Good for you and your friend for supporting the village, seriously helps remind me&nbsp;to&nbsp;keep my priorities straight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-day-of-school#post-1009427 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 04:37:41 +0000 Adelfa 1009427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Plus--homeschooling five children--you're a better woman than I am! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-day-of-school#post-1009426 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 04:37:17 +0000 Adelfa 1009426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just love this outfit. Cutoffs, striped tee, olive jacket (shirt?). Your shoes fit with the outfit. And the bag is amazing!</p> <p>To me this outfit has a casual cohesiveness that is very flattering and very you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-day-of-school#post-1009422 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 04:32:08 +0000 amiable 1009422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We started our home-school year today. &nbsp;It was tougher than I expected (we're charting new territory by switching curriculum and trying to combine four grades into a single History track - it was getting too complex to keep all the grades separate).</p> <p>But, we made it through, and celebrated by spending the evening at the lake. This is what I wore for the day though, not at the lake (though I should take a pic of my new swimsuit).</p> <p>Also, my new bag: a purchase from a friend selling bags to benefit a village in Africa (Swaziland). &nbsp;All the proceeds go back to the women who make the bags. &nbsp;The bag is even signed by the woman who sewed it. &nbsp;I decided it was something I wanted to support, and I'm enjoying the bright shot of color that the bag has!</p> <p>Suggestions for improvement? </p>
