This week on the Not Back to School Blog Hop is Student Photos/First Day of School. Thanks for joining our family on this exciting day!! If you missed our previous posts in the hop, check out our classroom here and our curriculum here.
Today was our first official day of 2nd Grade. She has been to two weeks of her Science & Art classes she takes at a local homeschool supplemental class. This was our first day of class at home. (Do I seriously have a second grader already?!) Here she is... Audrey!

If every day of school goes as smoothly as today did, I will be a very happy Mama! We started out our day with breakfast with everyone. (We LOVE having Daddy working from home. What a blessing!) She was too excited to wait until we started class to open the Little Passports package that came in the mail. It sat on the steps for a week before she realized it had her name on it. LOL We opened at the breakfast table and went through all the cute contents. Then we headed down to our new classroom to start on our Bible readings. We cuddled on the couch and started Charlotte's Web. Afterwards it was time for the dreaded copywork. (My child despises handwriting.) We had to take a break early on to help a friend out with her doggies. After lunch we were back to it! She had to rewrite her copywork - and actually did so without too much complaint. Then it was off to work on compound words, math, Latin, and art. Here are a few highlights from our day:
 |
| Working on her Accelerated Math program |
 |
| Enjoying some reading time in the the hammock. |
 |
| Audrey & Mommy's water color interpretations of Scream |
 |
| Helping little sister with her artist smock while she paints. |
 |
| Maddie had some of her own "homework". |
Happy to hear it was a great first day!
