First Day of Kindergarten

This actually occurred last Tuesday. I apologize for my forgetfulness.

Since we homeschool, we can arrange our schedule however we want. Last year we began a year-round calendar. We start in July, take all December off, then are finished in May to take all of June off. We also take an additional 4-6 weeks off throughout the year. Miracle wasn't very thrilled at first, but I think she's getting used to it. It really helps with retention of information, plus you don't have time to get bored during the summer.

I'm guessing Grace won't want to take month-long breaks, unfortunately. She absolutely loves school! We would do nothing else BUT school if it were up to her. She's learning how to print her letters, improving her scissors skills, working on critical thinking, plus playing edj-u-ba-cational games on the computer. We're going to start phonics and math after the first of the year. Plus we're going to talk about habitats, occupations, and the differences between living and non-living things. It's going to be a very busy year!
