Our first day of school was Monday! Zoe was so excited. Friday, Mark was off, so he took us all to get “school” outfits. Of course, practical me, chose clothes that they could wear through the fall/winter time. Zoe got up Monday and just had to wear her new outfit, despite that it was long sleeve…

We had a lot of fun. And lest anyone thinks I am pushing my kids academically…their curriculum is geared towards children and lasts a grand total of 30 minutes a day! I’m planning on adding some things as the weeks go by (especially some science things). In the meantime, when Zoe is begging for more, I get out a workbook that I had purchased and run off copies for them to work on which they both enjoy. I like this curriculum (Little Hands to Heaven) because it introduces the letters and the sounds they make…focusing on the short vowel sounds…each week. So, she is getting a more concentrated, and planned out introduction to letters and numbers. I am planning on using it again with Ace next year and then moving into using Interlock with Zoe next year (I think I’ve mentioned that in a previous post). Mark has been participating by recording their Bible story for each day. They love hearing daddy’s voice during the day.
