This is our 1st year homeschooling, so there isn’t much I have to do to prepare them. I just need to make sure all the curriculum is in order, schedules & lessons plans are ready, & printables printed. My girls have it easy! LOL

Well, my kid isn’t ready for school yet… but being a teacher I’d say… don’t forget to keep your kids reading and doing interesting academic type things during the summer! You don’t have to make them do worksheets or anything, but keep their minds engaged! It makes it so much easier to get back in the swing of learning!

The best way to get my kiddos ready for back to school is to start having them go to bed at a decent hour two weeks before school starts.

Get our supplies in advanced, label everything with their names, put away in the backpacks, and double check our lists. karenmed409(at)comcast(dot)net
besides all of the essential supplies needed, clothes and school supplies, I move bedtime up a little each day so they will be ready to go to bed earlier and get up earlier, as opposed to summer when they were staying up late and getting up late!

I would say that the most important thing I do is to try to foster positive enthusiasm about school starting- making positive comments, and focusing on all that my daughter will LEARN! Yay! Thanks!

To get ready for that first day (and week) of school, the weekend before (that’s this weekend for us) we double check the supply lists to be sure we have everything we need. If they’re using the backpack from last year I make sure it has been cleaned and any needed repairs have been done. We also do a trial run of the outfits for the entire first week of school and a try on of their gym outfit so make sure all is good in the clothing world. My daughter and I hang her entire 1st week wardrobe on individual hangers in her closet so she doesn’t have to wast a lot of time digging things out in the morning. This helps because that first week of getting up on time is really rough for her, even though we started back on that schedule this past week to help get her system into the right timing mode.

I start getting them on the right sleeping track by insisting on school sleep schedules, starting about two weeks before school. This means no more sleeping in or staying up late, makes the first days run smoothly.

We make sure to get back in theie school schedule routine 2 weeks before school… that way they have adjusted to waking up early again.
We homeschool. So, there is no preparing other than order course books.
I always have the kiddos pick out their outfits the night before and have their lunches done the night before
We prepared for back to school this year by school clothes and supply shopping. Due to construction at the school, they don’t have a formal meet and greet with the teachers (so that stinks). We have a few more weeks left until school starts here and as it gets closer we will start waking up on time (lol now we just sleep in) and start discussing ideas for school lunch.

We dedicate an afternoon before school starts and divide up all the school supplies amongst my 3 daughters. We get their backpacks completely ready to go, then they are off limits till the first morning of school. That way Mom doesn’t have to wonder where certain items went and have to rush around.

At present my kids don’t attend outside school. Next year they will, but we prepare by buying teaching materials that are fun for their age and that will also help them to learn. It’s fun to shop the cheapie sales and talk about what they’ll need when they go to a real school etc.

getting clothes/supplies is the easy part, mentally preparing to look forward to it is harder
we get everything ready the week before and ready to rock and roll
We talk it up non stop. My son loves being home with mom and dislikes going anywhere really. So we take every chance to talk about all the fun/great stuff he’ll be doing at school.
We just went school shopping. It was so much fun!!! We have a great time school shopping together
In addition to buying supplies and getting the summer reading done, as the first day approaches, I have my daughter start going to bed earlier (she stays up late in the summer) so that she won’t have problems getting up once school starts.

We are night owls, so the biggest thing we have to do to get ready is start waking up earlier ~ so we can get to bed earlier. This is hard on me & the girls! Otherwise just picking up new clothes & supplies gets them excited. Then going in for the Open house, they start seeing their school friends & are even more excited to go back. Especially since mom has basically lost her mind after a long summer & things start to get stricter {ie. less fun} for the kiddos!

We homeschool so there isn’t any back to school anxiety here. But whenever my son has some anxiety within our homeschool group of kids, I pull him aside, and we go on a walk so we can talk one on one so we can work on the problem together.
I prepare my son for back to school by having him go to bed earlier about 1 week before school starts.
We make sugar cookies in fun school shapes. This helps get the kids excited and ready. We also go to orientation at the school this helps get rid of some of the nervous back to school jitters.
I get my kids ready to go back to school by taking them back to school shopping to get all of the needed supplies and uniforms. We also make sure where the bus stop is, bus number, lunch number, etc. Before school starts, we attend the Open House so they can meet their new teachers.

There is no easy way to prepare for back to school. We all have to get up earlier and always have the kids lay out their clothes the night before and have all the homework and everything they need in their backpacks.
We reset the clocks. Early to rise, early to bed. We start reading time in the afternoon to get ready for homework time. We make a menu together of what school lunches are to be prepared. (compromise on both sides there) I have two little boys and they each get to pick out a new book satchel or back pack, whatever is require.

We get the routine together about a week prior. bed times, early wake ups, ect.
We usually have a get together with their friends right before school.
We try to get them in a sleeping and nap routine a few weeks before school starts.
I prepare my kids for school by setting up our “School Central Station” which is a long desk with a chairs, a computer, reference books, and supplies. I like my kids and school stuff all in one place, that way I can give snacks and homework help. It’s also a lot easier to keep my eye on them.
Thanks for the giveaway. We cn use all the school supplies we can get.

We organize everything! We also make sure we have everything ready the night before! It makes things so much easier!
We shop for supplies about two weeks prior to the first day of school, and spend a couple of days getting back-to-school clothes in the week or two before. We also readjust bed times the week before to loosely reflect what they will be when school begins.

To get ready for back to school, I start shopping for supplies as soon as they go on sale, since I have 5 kids to shop for. Also, about two weeks before school starts we put them back on an early bedtime to program their bodies to prepare for rest.
To get the kids ready for school and excited, we go to the library and check all the books about starting school.

I put their clothes on the dresser, let them pick an item for show and tell and have their backpacks by the door.
My kids actually love to go back to school so all we do is make sure they have something fun to wear the first day and stock up on new school supplies.

I made sure my daughter got up & went to bed early a few weeks before school to get her used to it.

We lower the bed times by an hour or two, we school shop EARLY, and we try to pump them up! We want them to be excited instead of dreading it!

We got supplies for the school and we talked about making new friends and listening to the teachers. That’s it!
