Friday, September 1, 2006 - Note to Self....
Note to Self: Never, ever, ever decide to switch cyber schools a week before school starts and you go on vacation...but that's another story.
Okay. So noted.
Today was our unofficial "first" day of school. We are heading off to Nags Head, N.C., on Sunday (a slight delay due to Tropical Storm Ernesto). We're supposed to start on Tuesday (9/5), but we wouldn't be able to do our first day pleasures: a pancake breakfast followed by a "bus" trip around the block to our frontdoor. The kids really enjoyed that last year, and I didn't want to disappoint them. We'll start the bookwork at the beach next week.
They opted for uniforms this year, so we got a few. Don't they look cute?
Edward, kindergarten, and Emily, 4th grade
We used this morning to pray for our school year together, introduce our verse for the year (Psalm 16:11), and write our school rules. I also read the poem "The Owl and the Pussycat" to them. Edward liked the poet: Edward Lear.
It was a fun beginning to the year!
"You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore." Psalm 16:11
