First day of School!

Though we started school last week, and were able to begin "counting days" for the State, we did not have our official first day until today. Today is the day we ran full schedule for the first time, adding in all of the subjects of study. Brett chooses his own outfit to wear, so today he picked out his favorite shorts with sharks embroidered on them. Here he is on this first official morning! Can you believe we have a full fledged kindergartner on our hands? It just doesn't seem possible!

Our kitchen is the classroom and we set up a circle time area with a bright rug and beanbags just for a change of pace from the table. It's Brett's favorite spot, so we took his picture there :)


Even though we are at home, Brett wants to bring his lunch in a lunchbox to eat. So we picked out a Star Wars lunch box and he helps me pack a sandwich and veggies and fruit. We add in a snack for our snack time too. It helps him feel like he's really going to school, so I humor him in this area. That's the one thing he's struggling with...realizing that just because we are home doesn't mean its not real school. He'll get it though, its new to all of us!
