First Day of School

Oh boy!

Little Mama's favorite school book for the upcoming year: Understood Betsy

Nature Girl's: Poor Richard (about Benjamin Franklin)

Boop's favorite: Math (for now)

Pictures of our first day of school. Sort of. We have unofficially, officially started back to school. But, don't tell the kids. Ha, ha. Just kidding. They know of course.

I decided to "start back" August 1st. It is the dog days of summer. It is hot outside. We have done just about everything that we are going to do. And, if we haven't, we have other days we can do other things.

We still are volunteering with reading up at the church, so we can't officially start our full days yet. So, instead of not doing anything, I just decided to start back slowly. With things that I knew might be hard to get into a routine.

So, this past Monday we start our quiet time routine and are continuing with Math. We have started, again, reading our Heroes book at breakfast. And, at snack time or lunch or whenever everyone is sitting at the table we have started our art study of Rembrandt.

Next week I hope to add a little Science and maybe even some Geography. I am just going to take it slow. By the time everyone else is back at school, we will hopefully be in the swing of things. And, maybe, just maybe, able to already take a day off . . .
