Today is our first day of school for our new term. The kids woke up full of enthusiasm and as Murphey’s law dictates, they woke up before me. I never sleep in. Never. I know I need to get up first and get my coffee fix and pray and check my email. I know that and will give up sleep I need to have it. It really helps me to be my best for the kids. Still, it was a good day!
Our school room was not quite at together as I wanted, but we still got down to business. I figure if we waited until it was perfect, we may never get started! First thing in the morning, the table was clear except our pen/pencil caddy. There was plenty of room for the girls to get down to business, and even enough room for an extra student! (isn’t he cute?!)
I am so pleased at how well the girls got down to business. It makes our outlook for the entire year a positive and happy one!
All work and reading was completed with good attitudes (it was just a little rocky with the youngest daughter at first, but we quickly got back on track)
We are tweaking the program a bit here and there this year and hope that we will have a much more enjoyable year because of it. We are adding some things to our history approach and we’ve increased literature. As soon as I get it all figured out (for a few days worth, anyway) I’ll post it here so I can keep track and comment on what works for us and what doesn’t.
The rest of the pictures are just because!!!!!!!
Glad you guys had a good start! What a hard worker the cutie is. I love how he looks like he’s trying to figure out an answer on the 2nd to last picture, and then does the work on the last one. lol
