Our first day back to homeschool was September 11th. We were all prepared for a beautiful day! We went to bed early to get a good night sleep. Everything was perfect.
And then my son was up ALL NIGHT with leg pains 😠he cried all night. We tried all the tricks, magnesium lotion, pickle juice, a hot shower, massages, drinking water, walking around, etc. we tried it all. It was an exhausting night, not at all conducive with a great first day of school.
So, my plans to get up early and have everything pinterest worthy didn’t quite work out.
HOWEVER! We had a great day. We woke up to foggy, rainy weather, which is my absolute favorite. We had our electric fireplace going and just enjoyed each other and the new curriculum while cuddled up.
We started out with chocolate chip muffins, mini cupcakes, and tea and hot chocolate!
Then, we dug into our baskets to check out the new curriculum! (And yes, we stayed in our pjs, because it was cold and we wanted to be comfy!)
The kids were both excited and engaged the whole time. We had such a wonderful day. I’d even go as far to say that it was our best first day yet!
The whole first week is done now and we really just had a blast. Just within the first week, K man has learned SO much. He’s already reading simple three letter words! His writing skills have already improved a lot, and his willingness to actually stay engaged has gotten much better! We are using all The Good and The Beautiful Kindergarten curriculum. I am beyond impressed with it!
Bob is using The Good and The Beautiful for Language Arts and the amount she’s already picked up is incredible! We started their Booster C cards earlier this summer to make sure she was ready for this curriculum. Those cards alone boosted her reading confidence tremendously! (No pun intended 🤣)
After we finished our regular curriculum, we sat outside under the awning reading our book for our fall study and drinking more tea and hot chocolate listening to the rain.
It was an incredible day!
