Back to School, Fall 2012

 We actually started back to school several weeks ago.  I didn't say anything about it because I didn't want to make all those public schoolers jealous.  haha!

Here are our first day of homeschool pics from then.  We're using My Father's World this year, which is new to us.  David and Elizabeth will be doing some of Adventures in My Father's World together, while she also has the MFW First Grade.

And here we are on the first day of public school (today public schools in our area started).  We started our day by looking at all the BTS photos that people were posting on fb, then we prayed for all the students and teachers we know in public school.

 All my students in our classroom!

We do lots of reading and we have a timeline this year.  This is what Christopher Columbus' ship would have looked like if Elizabeth had been his sail designer!  haha!!

 Here's our puppets.  The boring one in the middle was made by Mom.  : )

I had to move the marker board calendar, because Sarah kept erasing it!  Beside it, we have our new spelling board!  I'm very excited about using All About Spelling this year with David.  And cool repurposing project? Oh yeah!  That spelling board was formerly the front of my dishwasher!!
