I guess technically we started yesterday. We always begin our first day by looking through our curriculum (this year we have lots of new stuff!) and then going to brunch at Waffle House. This year was no exception. So yesterday that’s what we did. I got out all of the main books we will be using (which I’ll list here in a minute), had brunch at Waffle House, and then met some friends for an afternoon of bowling.
There is a local bowling alley that has $1 day on Mondays during the summer. This was Ben’s first time to bowl and he did quite well, scoring an 80 his first game! I hadn’t bowled in many years, probably 15, and scored a 148, so I was pretty proud of both of us.
Then today, we had our actual first day of school. We are beginning slowly. I won’t begin a few things for a couple of weeks. Things like vocabulary, spelling, and Spanish. For the first few weeks, I think we need to concentrate on handwriting (that’s never been a favorite), math, and of course, getting used to our new curriculum.
All in all, today went quite well. I think Ben was happy to get back to a bit of structure in our day and he very much enjoyed our first day. |
