Just a few days until Ramadan and School!

I have just a few days before school starts and I am ready. I am impatient for my son to get back from his dad's and I am excited begin our new school year. I am also exited for Ramadan to begin as that is my favorite time of year.
The year has been paced, the room is clean and organized, my little man's computer is ready and updated and all I need to do is adjust his desk. The floor in the school room is sloped so the desk is slanting currently. I have my first weeks battle plan. I have everything printed off and organized for the first month. The only thing I need to do is print for the following months and make the subsequent weeks battle plans.
As far as preparing for Ramadan, the house is tidy.I need to clean all the floors and dust. I'd like to cook all the dinners ahead of time. I also need to start going to bed earlier so that waking for suhur will be easier.

I I put together the work boxes for the first day of school!

I I put together the work boxes for the first day of school! I also put all printed material into note books, 1 week per note book.
I still need to tidy the school room and get his computer all plugged in. I also need to print all the rest of the years school stuff and make myself an action plan so that I am organized and prepared.
In addition to getting ready for a new school year I am preparing for Ramadan.

Clock in and Out

To go with our use of work boxes I made Super Pickle clock in and out pouches. I bought 2 pouches at the local Idaho School Supply for $.09 a piece. When he comes down to the school room for the day he can take his Super Pickle to the clock in pouch and when he is done for the day he can move it to clock out. I think he will love it.
I used LibreOffice pasted this picture 2x, and typed clock in and out under. I also printed a large version of it on card stock. 

An Animation

www.goanimate.com is a site that you can make basic little cartoons. This is mine, there isn't a lot of choices for free so i picked armless pirates. http://goanimate.com/movie/0ctpS6O17Fwo/1

Yeah for Free Library Printing

So te ink for my printer is expensive, 50 bucks a pop. So I went and printed a lot of the black and white stuff for the school year. Bad news is some of it got wet. Well, wet is an over statement, moist is better.

I finished the school room!

I finished setting up the school room. I am trying to keep it simple. We are going to try workboxes and I took the computer out. I have it in the downstairs living room at the moment but will probably move it to the laundry room because that is even closer, just the other side of the door.
Meanwhile, my little man is at the age of praying so were are adjusting to him having a new schedule. I still need to print a lot of stuff and gather supplies. I want to double check that my list of science supplies is complete. Anyway I may not be posting much this week.  

Last steps to getting ready

Well it looks like I am finally ready to just print off things and purchase science lab items. Most of the items for science I already have and only 1 will cost more than $5. By far the most expensive item to purchase will be ink. I'd like to get a self inking system, and those run over  $100. Still, I think it would be well worth it.b
