[@homeschoolculture]

What first day of school traditions is a must in your house? Do you prefer a gentle soft start or all in on day one?

Our family lights sparklers and takes family photos on the first day of school!

Wow. I think you guys had fun with all those snack stops! Thanks for sharing.

We always keep the first week of school to 3 somewhat shorter school days so that my daughter (just turned 15) and I don't end up exhausted after the first week. It really helps. The 2nd week is usually more normal, with a light Friday, and we are ready for the weekend but in a solid groove.

That sounds like a great way to start. I hope y’all have a wonderful school year!!! 😊

What time fo you like to start school each day, ideally?

[@homeschoolculture]

We try to start morning basket by 8:00 but some days it’s closer to 9:00.
