First Day of Homeschool Celebration

9/12/2018

We celebrated our first day of homeschool this past Monday.  Even though, we are homeschooling all year with a 6 weeks on and 1 week off schedule, we officially began Audrey's 5th grade year, Ethan's 3rd grade year, Sophie's kindergarten year, and Ava continued with her "quiet growing early years" this week. 

​We begin each new homeschool year with a meaningful celebration.  This year, it was all about animals around the world.  This was chosen because we will begin our science studies this year with zoology.  So each child received a new Ostheimer wooden toy animal and an animal book.

​Audrey was given a wooden zebra and The Burgess Animal Book for Children.  Ethan was given a wooden alligator and the DK Smithsonian's Animal: The Definitive Visual Guide.  Sophie was given a wooden giraffe and D'Aulaires' Book of Animals.  Ava was given a wooden monkey and Eric Carle's Animals Animals.

We began our first day of homeschool celebration with a pancake breakfast.  Everyone got their new grade shaped pancake.  Ava got an "A" but was unhappy when I took her picture because I would not let her pour her own syrup.  Other than that, we had a great first day!
