    A tip I have for looking for getting a good deal on thrift store books is to visit your local Goodwill Outlet store not the regular ones the digging ones. I have gotten loads of books for only $0.50lb even finding BJU, ABEKA, ect curriculum.

    My favorite back to school tip is to start new routines gradually. Slowly make bedtime earlier and wake up time earlier. Gradually add new things to your day over a period of weeks. For us as homeschoolers we start just one subject for the first week and add additional subjects gradually until we’re doing our full load.

    If possible, meet the teacher before the first day of school…
    For homeschoolers, make a plan together with the teacher, looking forward to exciting learning.

    My back to school tip is to make it fun. I always loved back to school shopping for supplies, so let your kids help with that. Talk about the fun things that are coming up, that have to do with school or even upcoming events/holidays, etc. so that they can look ahead and be excited!

    My kids are teens and college aged now but a tip that always helped us was to prepare as much as possible the night before. That includes packing lunches, laying out clothes, organizing backpack and leaving it by the door, etc.

    My best tip I could give is GET ORGANIZED!!! Also, be ready for that first day. Talk to your child and answer any questions, or help with any fears. It is an exciting time, but some kids get very nervous and anxious.

    I am “mean mama” and make my children re-use many of their materials. I buy the plastic folders which hold up well. I stock up on paper, glue, etc when it is super cheap. Map pencils, erasers, backpacks, lunch kits, etc… get reused! I’m always disgusted at the end of the year how many notebooks come back unused, or with 20 sheets written in, so I pull the used sheets out and send them back! We have money to buy new ones, but I believe in waste not, want not:). Crayons I buy new, but use the broken ones for my little one as it is actually better for them to use broken crayons.

    I homeschool and have one child in school. To help everyone separate a little easier on the first day of school we make a special necklace or bracelet for everyone. We make it assembly line fashion. We have a string for everyone. The strings are passed from person to person, each person putting on one bead. We continue to pass around and talk until all jewelry items are finished. Once we are done we all put them on and say this will remind of each other when we are apart. Everyone wears them for the first few days/weeks.

    Back to school tip: choose what you want for lunch/snack for the week and get everything together in baggies/containers so you don’t have to worry about it each day.

    Check all the things that should be needed at the school. It is best not to buy a lot of school supplies before the class starts.. just wait for the teachers requirements. 🙂

    Getting everything organized and put away the night before. Everything into backpacks, lunches made, outfits picked out. It makes the mornings a lot less hectic.
