All Ready for school year 2013 to start?

[janet88]

Yes…sense of ownership. That I agree.

But to expect my 12 year old to grow up overnight? That will take perhaps 1-2 weeks to adjust to new school (Sec 1) curriculum. I am planning my daughter’s schedule now.

Same here! This morning, mine slept till 11am :faint: Sure got problem waking up all our kids on 2 Jan.

Only Jan 2nd ??!!
From Jan 2nd :gloomy:

My alarm regimeFirst alarm 5:20am- Enough to do do some stretches and sip coffee, and smell the roses. Snooze 15 mins.
Can ignore. Where got roses anyway?

Second Alarm. 5:40am Wake up now and there will be no haste.
Snooze 13 mins.

Third alarm . 5:55am. Snooze 2 mins.
Get out of the bed Now NOW NOW

So I have alarm going off at 5:50, 5:53, 5:55, 5:57, 5:59,6:00. if I press the snooze button.
Enough to wake up the dead,

The only time this fails is when the phone has no charge. Time to get a Plan B alarm clock.

I do not use snooze anymore and my alarm is set without any buffer.

when the alarm rings, i know i have to get up or i will be late, somehow have no problem getting up and getting ready fast. plus i get to sleep to the max.

Question:


Must the kids bring ALL the text books? I dread that - it is so heavy on them! What can they NOT BRING on the first day? Any chers here to give your kind advice?

Usually teachers want to collect the workbooks n files to keep in class?
