Today was the first day back to school since we started our holiday break, almost  a month ago!  It went very well.  We pretty much had an easy and fun day-I like to ease them in!  We did independent work (math, copywork, journal, and grammar/phonics) and then just spent some time decorating our notebooks.  We had a huge stack of papers that we had done for advent and our Christmas around the world unit, so we got them all put into notebooks and then decorated the covers.  We also took some time to decorate journals for our morning devotions.  I did mine too.  They really enjoyed this and I think it will also help them to use the journal more often to write down what they are learning in their morning time with the Lord. 

I will be posting pics soon-- the camera battery was dead when I went to use it.  I hate when that happens.  Pics to come, I promise!
