And we are off to the new school year. Yesterday we began our adventure of fourth grade and first grade. We were well prepared and with day 2 under our belt I have a silver lining in this cloud.
For those of you that love me and know the highs and lows of home schooling, please remind me of this time in the future. I loved seeing their bright faces and eager minds to get down to business. We will be studying ancient civilizations along with the norms of reading, math, writing and language skills.
Last night we felt so "high-tech" in our planning for the year, we had a teacher meeting using the web cams and included Amy who is in North Carolina. It was like having her here with us minus her additions of good cooking. It was amazing. I do love skype. And it was free.
For those of you that do not have girls in your home, let me fill you on an activity that has been a daily event in our house...Dancing in the living room as if "So you think you can dance is filming"...and I have seen moves that would make experts proud. It leaves us embarrassed at times and laughing hysterical at other times. If we have to, I guess the girls could give lessons to get in a few extra bucks....child labor laws though, they scare me...dishes and daily chores are all I can get away with for now.

Glad you got off to a good start. You should have taken a picture of their exciting faces so you can show them when they are frowning-haha. I guess I'm confused about all the teacher meetings.
Congrats on starting the school year! We will be starting the first week of Sept, that way the summer season at daddy's work is over and we can have a "normal" routine.
I heard about the high-tech stuff! You girls better do it! I know you'll have a wonderful year :)
I wish you and your girls an incredible year! I wanna see some of those dance moves!
