How To Jump Start Your Oak Meadow Year (In Just 5 Steps):
1. Gather Your Curriculum & Materials: Now's the time to go ahead and secure your curriculum along with any craft supplies you'll need for the year (before the August rush). Having everything ready to go now will save you from last minute supply searching later on and give you plenty of time to review your curriculum materials so you can jump into the first day of school fully prepared.
2. Celebrate Box Day: The arrival of your materials is the unofficial kickoff of your homeschool year. Mark the moment, and share it with the hashtag #OMBoxDay.
3. Design Your Homeschooling Space: Set aside a dedicated space for learning, and take care to make supplies easily accessible to ensure the space is comfortable and engaging. Click here for more tips on setting up your homeschooling space.
5. Dive Right in! Capture the excitement of the first day of school with a photo, and enjoy another outstanding Oak Meadow year.

Flower Power!
There's a lot to love about summer, but this year, we're especially enjoying eyeing beautiful flower blooms (right now, we're savoring sunflowers and orange lilies!).
Encourage your student to draw their favorite flowers! If they need extra assistance, we love this easy flower drawing guide from Nova Naturals.
