First day of school pics

Here are some pictures from our first day of school. Two eager learners :)

(6 years old and 3 1/2 years old)
We got a lot accomplished today and teaching 2 of them went smoother than I was expecting...but....I'm not expecting it to be smooth sailing all the time *grin* Our 3 1/2 year old is starting to learn to write his small letters. He did a great job!!

Our science class started with creation which we have discussed in the past, so there wasn't a whole lot new to learn today. It was interesting though how the lesson was set up. She cut out all the things God created in 6 days. Then I had her mix them all up and put them in random order. She soon discovered that God's plan for creation was perfect....the fish couldn't be created before the sea, the animals couldn't be created before land, and God had to be the beginning of it all for anything to be put into place! She tried several different random orders but nothing worked except for God's perfect order! It was a neat approach to our lesson!

  2. The pictures were so cute of their first day of school! So glad to hear it went really well. That science lesson was fantastic! That is one of the many ways God shows us how wonderfully He made the world and all of us. Kyle is doing great with his letters! Keep up the great work!
