#LMMLinkup: Back to School Season

July 31, 2017 By Mary Hill 19 Comments

It is the back to school season.  Our schools start back in less than three weeks; while schools in neighboring states are already back in session.

How are you preparing for this back-to-school season? Do you homeschool or send your children to public or private school? There are many school options for parents these days, but no matter which option you choose preparation for the start of  a new school year requires planning.

That is why over the next few weeks we will have guest posts featuring resources for back to school. I hope you will enjoy them.

If you would like to provide a guest post in August we would love to hear from you. Contact me at marykatbpcsc45 at gmail.com.

Linkup Rules:

  1. Include a link back or the blog hop button linked to this hop on your posts.
  2. Link up the urls to your posts not to your blog.
  3. Please remember this is a family-friendly linkup. Although we believe in the right for adults to read whatever they want to read, we prefer to read wholesome posts that feature literature that edify and uplift families. We reserve the right to delete any posts that are not family friendly. We love all kinds of literature and genres including family-friendly inspirational romances, fantasy, or science fiction. We do not welcome any posts that feature excessive violence, sexual content, or any cursing. This rule also applies to book review posts that feature books that are not family-friendly. These posts will be deleted without notice to the blogger or explanation. While we believe in the right for all adults to read whatever they want, we feel our linkup is for family-friendly posts only. Thank you for understanding.
  4. We also want to be loving community by supporting one another. Please make a point to do this this week! Visit the two posts before yours and at least one other blogger’s post of your choice! I want to see lots of clicks on everyone’s posts. Remember it is also nice to follow them on their social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook.
  5. Follow your hosts and co-hosts on their social media.
  6. Tweet about the link up too.

    In my part of the world, schools opened long back in the first week of June. Here the summer vacations are for April and May. This year my 6 year old started Grade 1 and it wasn’t a good start since he was not able to adjust to the longer school timings. 2 months later, now, he is well settled and doing well. I will be looking forward to read back-to-school posts so as to equip myself for next year when he will start Grade 2.

      I wish our vacations were in April and May because it is much cooler weather, but the kids could not swim then. Summers and times seem to fly. I hope we can have posts for back to school in the next few weeks that will help your prepare.

    Our local school starts back up in 3 1/2 weeks but since I homeschool we have yet to pick an official back to school date. I’m sure we’ll start hitting the books soon with just one or two subjects for the first few weeks to ease ourselves back into the routine of it all. Plus we like to keep the actual book work light that first month and take lots of field trips now that we have most places to ourselves again.

      I really envy you on that, but my daughter wants to go to public school.

    Ours are all out of school except that our youngest (age 24) is taking classes online, but he pretty much takes care of all the preparation himself. I was in W-Mart a few days ago when a lot of kids and parents were swarming around the school supplies. In some ways I miss that, in other ways I am glad we’re not in that stage any more. 🙂 The one way the county school schedule most affects me is in having to watch the clock when I leave so I don’t get stuck in school traffic. 🙂

      I know. Fall is about six weeks away. I can’t wait for cooler weather, though.

    Hi, Mary! I’m preparing for back to school by ordering curriculum for homeschool, and how strange it is to be planning for just one student! I keep feeling as if I’m forgetting something . . .
