First craft

In an attempt to add some fun to our homeschool routine I decided to add a weekly craft.  Since this is the first week and we are still learning each others names, we made name tag necklaces.  Ok ok, we made them because I found a bunch of crafts off oriental trading for a Very good price and this was one of them. 

First Day of School

I think (although I'm not sure) that we all survived our first day of school for the year.  The kids were all so excited.  Like really really excited.  The oldest made signs showing what grade they are now in.  Joseph is in 2nd, Derek in 1st, Lorelei is doing pre-k work.  Christian and Jason are in monster school.  This is where they teach each other their personal tips on how to be a better monster.  They have both already learned so much.

I had made each kid a little bin filled with school supplies.  Today we started off school by decorating each with their names and other stuff.
