First Day of School

Today was our first day of school for the year. It's amazing to look back and see how much they've grown and learned since the beginning of last year. Caleb is now in 1st grade, Alexa is in K-4, and Jordanna is generally in trouble. She is definitely going to make home schooling interesting this year. And then in December, we get to add another little one to the mix. Anyway, Caleb starts classes one day a week at my school next week, so I wanted to go ahead and start up with a light schedule this week before adding that in. So, here are some things we did today.
We made new name tags for their desks. Alexa just used the small table last year, but now she has her own desk.
Meanwhile Jordanna put stickers on a piece of paper.
Caleb and Alexa worked on their math. Caleb is doing 2nd grade math this year.
And Jordanna played with the math blocks.
We stopped for cookies for a first day of school snack.
And the kids had "recess" time before it hit 96 degrees like it was supposed to do today.
Later on, I gave Jordanna some Color Wonder markers (the kind that only color on special paper) to color with, and this is how I found her when I came back.
Caleb and Alexa worked on their phonics and handwriting.
We also did Bible, literature, science and more today. All in all, it was a good first day!
