FIRST DAY!!!!

Today is the first day of year 21 for our homeschooling. After breakfast, we start with Bible. Dad prints the chapter we are going to read that day. We read it, talk about what we see as significant and then have a prayer time.

Two handsome men:


Two lovely girls:


We took a long time getting the school room ready. We had new books to organize and put it in the owner's desks. We had tons of books to try to sell - which we did sell some and made a little money. Since Zachary broke his collar bone, he was sleeping on a lawn chair. We had to remove that, straighten up his room and get his real bed ready for him. The whole room got a thorough dusting and vacuuming and we were ready to begin.

Our first day:


Two children aren't too happy to start school, but start we must and we did. We had a rough beginning, but we are bound and determined to have a better year than last year. We already have a few field trips lined up. Watch for future updates and pictures.

Hope you are having a great day too!

Yay for a glimpse into your school room! I hope you have a great year. Any chance you'd want to give either of Z or E's desks a make-over? I'm sensing they'd be a good project. :)

Emily - Zachary's desk has a formica top, the sides and front are in pretty good shape. I don't think Elyse's desk is worth the hassle. The next time you are here, you see what you think. Her desk IS solid wood and the top needs refinishing, I am just not sure it is worth the work. After homeschooling, we probably won't need the desks anymore.

Love hearing your ideas and the stuff you are trying! Feel free to share any time; I love borrowing from fellow teachers.

Hope your first day was all you'd hoped it would be!

love you,

Elyse says: "The second day was a TON better than the first day. I really liked learning about the Aztecs, Mayas, and Inca's. Like Zachary said, "World War II is the best."
