Living and loving life as a homeschooling Army family.

First day of school!!

Our First Day of School!! 

Well, the day arrived.  Adisson's first Official day of Kindergarten.  It was supposed to start with a breakfast at IHOP, but that got the boot after Zander stayed up until three this morning not feeling so well.  I did tell Adisson we could go to Sonic for ice cream tonight to make up for that, but that also did not happen.  Our first day of school went wonderfully.   The rest of the day however, was horrible.  But that's not the point, at least not today.

We are using Explorer's Bible Study and began our day with that.  We then moved into our Hooked on Phonics.  (On a side note, I know HOP is like admitting to the homeschool world that I have the ebola virus or something, but it's great, it works, and we've been using it, so I love it!).  Afterwards we did our A Beka Health and Math and a little bit of writing with Draw Write Now. 

Adisson was good.  He was excited.  He had no desire to stop learning things and just really had a good time.  I was thrilled.  :)

I did take pics so here ya go!!

My little monkey.  I took some other pictures of him, but this is cute!  Oh and the date stamp is wrong and I've  since removed that as an option on the pictures.

Getting ready to get started!!

Working on his handwriting.  :)

How we managed to get everything done, undisturbed.  :)  So sweet.

Hope you like the pictures, Daddy!  WE MISS YOU!!  Stay safe, we can't wait until you are home!!!! xoxoxoxo

1. What a terrific learning space you have set up!
2. HOP has a computer based program for older children that I used when I pulled my dds out of public 3 yrs ago. I would recommend it to anyone whose children need some help with phonics so don't worry :) Each child learns completely different from the other, even in one family. So HOP may not work for your other son but it is just how each child learns and as you say why fix what is not broken!
3. Let the day flow as it will. Lack of Ice creams and IHOP's aside, your boys seem to have a caring mom to help them learn-> Blessings~
