First day of our homeschooling year....


So far it has been a great day...it is a lovely cool Fall-like day.  Perfect for that back-to-school feel :)
I was up at 6am and sat watching the sunrise which was quite beautiful.  

After Susannah and Laurence had left for school, it wasn't long before Abigail was up.  She set to work on her books while I showered - she loves her workbooks....we have a big basket of workbooks and they can basically pick from the basket each morning depending on what they feel like doing...Abigail did some work in her dice mathematics book, Language arts books, creative writing, and a couple of other books....she helped Sam with some of his work at times too when I was busy with laundry etc.  

Abigail also helped make waffles - and covered fractions as we didn't have a 3/4 cup.  

Sam watched his Word factory dvd and a dinosaur show again.  We played a spelling/ word recognition game. 

 I cleaned the fridge and oven...some windows/ baseboards and a few other chores.  We ran to the store for milk.  Abby did some art - she's working on a  canvas of horses.  

We decluttered more of the kitchen drawers ready for the big bin.  I really need to get this place tidied up  so it's ready to show.  

A new school year....

No oversleeping, no missed buses, no problems at all :)  
Here's to what I hope will be a great year for them both :)
