First Day of Kindergarten!

My baby boy has officially started Kindergarten! His first day was Monday, Aug. 11, and although he is being homeschooled, he was still very excited! He drew a picture and wrote in his journal, learned about the water cycle which creates rain, learned all about rainbows, and we even made one ourselves (forgot to take a picture of that) with a glass of water, some paper and sunlight. We began reading several different books- some dealing with history/geography, and then one of my all-time favorites...The Boxcar Children. Sarah Beth is enjoying listening to the read-aloud books, as well. Matthew did a little reading of his own- 1st grade readers, at that! He is doing very well, even if he does have a biased teacher! I hope it continues to go as well as it's gotten started! I love teaching him and seeing him "get it," and then being able to do other things with him throughout the day to reinforce what we learned or talked about. I feel very blessed and humbled to be homeschooling my children. It's such a wonderful opportunity! To Matthew- Congratulations on your first day of Kindergarten! I know you'll learn many things and do well this year- can't wait to be there with you every step of the way, my baby boy!
