~First Day of School~ August 24, 2009
This Monday we began our fifth year of home-learning. I can't believe it has been four years since God brought my dreams to fruition. I am blessed!
Our day began with our traditional pancake breakfast.
Grace was not all the way awake. 
After a few quick chores, we headed down to the school room to see their surprises.
Jennifer by her desk, she was excited to get a desk calendar. Jennifer is my organizer!
Elizabeth was glad to start school!
Finally seeing that sweet Grace smile.
After our morning opening time, the girls got busy working.
Jennifer working on Algebra problems.
Elizabeth in one of her new study "spots". She likes to move around a lot as she learns, this can be very distracting when one is trying to divide polynomials. 
Grace loves to paint!
It was a great first day of school! I have found that it is easier to work them into a full schedule, so these first days are a lot of review and fun things!
~Treasuring these precious days in my heart,
~*~ Share a Blessing!

Looks like you've got a great classroom!
I can't believe how much your girls have grown and changed since we first become blog buddies!

This looks like a wonderful day. I will be starting soon and hope that it will be a easy transition.
PS: I got my book in the mail and I can't wait to start reading it. I needed something fun to read with all the things surrounded with my 1ds' health. He is on his way home and we are counting down the sleeps till he and his daddy come home.

Thanks for sharing your day! We won't be officially starting until the Tuesday after Labor Day. We have been doing a bit o' math and reading for awhile... but we need to step it up. The kids in our area don't start back until after the State Fair comes to a close. ;o)
Marissa will not be home this year. She will be attending a Day Treatment School.
