1st day of kindergarten for Silas!!!!
Wonderful water fun for Jude
Cade brushing his new teeth
Number writing practice for Silas
Mireya's beautiful cursive writing!
We had a wonderful amd successful first day of school! The kids had fun looking at all their new books while chewing their BIG LEAGUE CHEW bubble gum and sucking on pop rocks!! We had to get them special treats on their first day of school especially since these treats went way back in our childhood memories! We started off our day with prayer and "circle time." We sang songs, talked about the seasons, days of the week and month of the year and read a special story. Mireya and Silas are my helpers since they already have all these thing memorized. It is fun to see them helping me teach Jude! The older two did their Math U See and language arts while Jude watched his character dvd and played with water in a tub... pouring, squirting and dumping. Cade wasn't so helpful today as all he did was" help" Daddy empty the dishwasher by climbing onto the open dishwasher door and holding onto the counter while Daddy had his back turned...he seemed to find all kinds of ways to be "helpful" even though he had so many toys to keep him busy...sigh...maybe tomorrow will run a little smoother in the Cade department! We are excited to start KONOS which is a unit study that incorporates all the children in their own special way and emphasizes on character developement and working together as a family unit! We will start that in a few weeks!!! Mireya and Silas had their first piano lessons today! They are so excited and I can't wait to start hearing them practice and learning to make music! I am so excited for another year of homeschooling and the priviledge of having our children at home walking beside us and learning together as a family!
Wow! Time goes so fast!! That is amazing... I can't believe Silas is in Kindergarten! :) Give them all (and you!) my love!
