First Day Of School 2017

Our little schoolroom opened today and we began our fifth year of homeschooling! It was a happy and cozy and successful day, and we look forward to many more.  : )





Our Second Grade student was up bright and early!

We got a picture with the Superintendent of Schools...

And a very happy Second Grade teacher.

After a delicious breakfast of pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, made by our in house Cafeteria Manager Peyton...

We headed into the schoolroom, and got to work.
Our Sophomore was up and ready too!!!

This year Flynn is looking forward to studying the continents in Social Studies, making an exploding volcano in Science, and using an actual spiral notebook for dictation.

Rhett is looking forward to being done Introduction to Business and lunch. : )

Have a wonderful school year, my friends!!!

  1. This is just the best. Superintendent, cafeteria manager, etc. Good stuff.
    And you know what I'm going to say.....the exploding volcano lesson deserves a break to watch Peter Brady show you all how it's done. Just watch out for those Boosters!

  4. I hope you guys have a wonderful school year! One of the earliest things I remember about your blog was you showing the first day of school for all four kids and I was so impressed that you got them each gifts. (In fact, it might have been your first year homeschooling if memory serves.) I have enjoyed following along and enjoying your cozy country home!

  13. Hi Billie Jo!

    What a wonderful day! Wouldn't it be nice if every child looked as happy as, Flynn on the first day of school?! My grands love school, but they would love it even more if they didn't have to leave the house, and their mom was the teacher . . . and the pumpkin muffins would just be the icing on the cake. I have two little grands who just started 1st grade, oh, how I would love to be their teacher!

    Thank you for sharing your first day of school with us ♥

    Hugs and Love,
    Barb
