What a bummer, OkiMom! It's kindergarten! And I'm sure you'll do great, and they'll be singing a different tune in a year or two (hopefully sooner, of course!).
Mitty, haven't been there, but your plan sounds solid! I have the opposite issue - I'll be trying to entertain an almost-toddler while working with DD!
Wish me luck, we start tomorrow since that's when DH goes back as a teacher. It's kind of a K/1 blend year for us, with lots of stuff carrying over from last year. M-Th mornings, calendar/memory work, a little ETC for spelling/writing, CSMP for math, free art/crafts, outside time, SOTW1 or science fun, then mystery jar, with slips to draw for stuff like games, puzzles, poetry, riddles, Salsa Spanish. Monday's will have music, Wednesday's park day & homeschool PE, Fridays will be totally fun schooling with special art, library, projects she wants to do, special movies, etc. We already have a solid evening routine of doing our family read aloud, her reading practice & devotional time.
This is the plan anyways - we all know what often happens to plans! I can flex as needed, but I do enjoy some stable routines. And DD seems to need this to be special in some way, like it is for all her friends going off to school soon. Hopefully we'll find a nice, relaxed, enjoyable groove!
