First Day of School

We started our new schoolyear today. Other than the fact that I have three active little ones to occupy, it went really well. I enjoyed Heart of Dakota, it was easy and went quickly. Little Hands to Heaven (the program for 2-5 year olds) only took about 30 minutes, and that included painting! I don't have any pictures to post, as we were too busy actually DOING school for me to take pictures.

Preparing Hearts for His Glory, the program for 8-10 year olds, took a little less than four hours. We split it up into two sessions. My 10yo worked on his independent and semi-independent work while I was working with the littles. We did poetry during lunch, and he exclaimed "That was a beautiful poerm!" Haha. During naptime we did the more intensive stuff, like math, language arts, and Bible study, so I could give him my full attention.

I'll try to post pics tomorrow. Our new schoolroom (the dining room) is looking good. My husband worked so hard this weekend to get it painted and to put the bookshelves in. He also waxed our floors, and that made such a difference. (Check out the post about our ugly floors.)

Your blog header image is cute! Quite a few people have started back to school today. We school year round so I always forget it's that time of year.

Abiding in the Vine!
