We slept in past 9

Can you believe that! We slept in past 9 on a school morning! Did I mention there are many beautiful things about homeschooling? We apparently all needed extra rest and that's okay!  Everyone woke up very refreshed and ready for the day! No matter what time we wake up, our routine is still the same. My life is dedicated to being a Mom and a teacher, therefore we carry on regardless of what is going on around us!

We ate breakfast, got dressed and headed to school {aka the kitchen table}!  Did I mention that we are never late for school? :)

Today, we did an alligator craft that I had seen on pinterest that was so adorable! I'm so thankful that my oldest child is a girl, a girl who really loves to craft. No craft or activity is too young for her, shes so eager to get her hands in glue or paint and use scissors that she never turns away a craft! I'm thankful because the alphabet crafts are geared more towards the younger ones but she is more than happy to do them along with them!

I am so proud of Camden!  He has come such a long way in just a few short years! He is working so hard and is so excited to learn! Today, we read our first book together (as a kindergartener) and he was excited to read the words that he was learning (you, and)! 

He is doing such a great job with his handwriting! I am so impressed! The first letters are Mommy's and his name is Mommy's but the letters next to it are his handwriting! No assistance and no tracing! To me, that is so, so awesome! He doesn't even have to trace any of his letters! This teacher is very, very proud!

Kaylee read to the boys today, I love it when she reads to them! She read "Does a Kangaroo have a Mother, too" By Eric Carle

Continuing our 'A' theme this week, this book was full of animals!

 

We went to the library this afternoon and picked out many books with 'A' in the title! Books about Acorns, Astronauts and tonight we ready one about "Axle Ally"!

After the library we went to the park! It was time to burn off some energy!

The second day of school was great, yet again! We are off to such an amazing start!
