Day 239 - beginning days


We started a lighter version of school this week.  The official first day will be the day after Labor Day but I wanted to ease everyone into the routine.  I especially need this time to see how Courtney and Claire fit into the day.   I knew I would work with them first to give them 'mommy time' before doing school with the big girls.  They actually stayed with us the whole time and wanted to take part in all of Caroline's activities.  They did more than I expected and it gave me a good feel on scheduling our day.  I know it wont always go as smoothly as it's gone this week but I am really excited and thankful.

We are studying Creation for these first 10 days before the regular lessons start.  The crafts, lessons and snacks have been wonderful so far.  I love this curriculum!  Today, Day 4 of Creation, God made the sun, moon and stars.  So everything we did revolved around that truth.  Calista made a fun snack of crackers & cheese in sun, moon and star shapes.  This picture is from Day 3 when God made the seas, dry land and plants.  That was the best snack....dirt cups (chocolate pudding and oreos).  Fun, fun week so far!
