Creation Day 3

What a great day!

When we started on Monday, Nathan could only recognize the letter N.

This week we have been reviewing the letters, emphasizing on the two at a time starting with A & B. I am proud to say that he can now identify A & B, along with E, I, M & N.

He wants to read so badly and is excited that he is learning letters and on the path to reading.

We have begun charting the weather.

He pounds the paper when gluing, cracks me up.

Watercolors! 

Creation Day 2

Today was fun!

I decided to let him paint for his creation book and that was a hit. In fact as I am typing this, 20 minutes after being done with school, he is still painting. Having fun mixing colors and using different colored paper for new effects. I love art!

These little cups are wonderful! I got them last year while teaching preschool. They are condiment cups from Wal-Mart. I believe they come 8 to a package for less than a buck.

First Day of School

We have finished our first day of school! WooHoo!

It went as well, if not better than I expected. It's still a novelty for both of us, so we were eager to move through all the things on our list to do.

Before school, I did the First Day of School pictures. We did these for preschool as well.

We started by praying together for our day. Why have I not been doing this all along? 

Then we read the Bible passage for today, Genesis 1:1-5.

Then some table work...

...and working on the creation book & poster.

We reviewed our letters {a & b} and talked about the calender, month & season.
