First Day!
We had a wonderful first day of school. We went to the bee farm on Saturday, took lots of pictures, and brought home 6 gallons of raw honey. Today we got our new notebooks current. I printed out pages of pictures from all of the activities we did over the summer (swimming, 4th of July, nature walks, the bee farm, etc.) and we went over all of them and put them into the page protectors in the notebooks. Then we started our bee unit. At the end, I got out 3 bowls and put some of 3 different kinds of honey out for the children to taste. We had an American honey, a German honey, and the new raw honey. Everyone got to taste and compare the honeys. Rebekah (6) was happily eating honey and yelled out, "I LOVE SCHOOL!"  Our box from Rainbow Resource arrived today. Thomas and Naomi Ruth were able to look through their new math curriculums. We'll add in math next week. They both think that they look great. I also got a diagnostic placement test. I used it on Naomi Ruth today. She is 8 and in 3rd grade this year. She placed in 2nd grade in math and in 6th grade in reading. I'll test Thomas with it tomorrow.
Love, Dawn |
