We started school the Tuesday after Labor Day. At first it made sense to start that day because my husband started back teaching at the University that day and also it gave us a full week to recover from our trip to Ohio to visit my family. But really it was kind of a busy week to get focused on school. Monday being Labor day gave us a 4 day week. Wednesday we had a Homeschool group meeting in the afternoon, so we had to scramble to get school done that day. Our Thursday morning choir started that week and a homeschool picnic was held on Friday starting at 10:30, so Friday was a no school day. For our read aloud/topic time I just read some books for our own collection that I had been meaning to read and we did math and copywork both Tuesday and Wednesday and grammar and spelling one day each.
The following week we started our Weather Unit, which included bunches of books from the library and an experiment kit. It took us 2 weeks to get through everything. Most days we did math and some kind of writing and we alternated days of grammar and spelling.
Other activities of the first 3 weeks of school included art class, storytelling theater, math club, tamale making, and of course, park day.
Oh, I should mention that the week before we "officially" started school, we went to the $2 day at the Dinosaur Museum and Botanical Gardens and also the local Storytelling festival.
