First Day of School/New Chalkboard September 2015

Starting School 2014!

Yesterday Naomi and Jacob began their year at Hilger Higher Learning.

They are taking Science, Grammar-Writing and Literature there this year.

While the big kids were at Hilger, we schooled at the Creative Discovery Museum--painting, studying water at work, looking at bugs, starting our reading program and playing in the sand.

When we picked the Hilger kiddos up, we stopped for a little first day celebration at Baskin Robbins!

Today we started our formal schooling at home.

Instead of one Ikea table, we now have two, and instead of paper, they are covered with white board material.

There's a big box of treats to help the school days along

and about seven notebooks a piece, if I counted correctly!

Bethany's Last Day of Kindergarten

Pirate and Princess Day

Today was Pirates and Princesses Day for Bethany's kindergarten class.

(for the letter "r" as in "ARRR, Mateys!")

Even Mrs. Cook dressed up as a pirate!

During recess, they played Pirates lagoon--complete with crocodiles and pirates to rescue the princesses.

Bethany's First Day of Kindergarten!

Brimming with confidence and excitement, our beautiful five year old left the house yesterday for kindergarten at Classical Beginnings, a homeschool tutorial. She will attend 

Mon-Tues-Thurs-Fri. from 8 to 12.

Stocked with fat pencils and sparkly folders, her backpack is a symbol of having ARRIVED at the school age. : )
