Week one of Kindergarten and First Grade!!! 2012

This was our first week of Kindergarten (Emma) and First Grade (Leah)!! I wasn't sure I would survive Homeschooling two different grades and two different children : ))....AND finding something for my 3 1/2 year old to do without making her feel left out! Whew..that makes me tired just saying all that! 

BUT.....we did it and had a blast this first week!!!

Our school room table was a mess EVERYDAY! I think I need a bigger table : /...

This is one of Leah's reading papers.....word families..._in and _it......she likes to cut and paste : )

Emma's math page....color patterns...we are working on coloring in the lines ; )

This year I switched Leah to Saxon Math...I love it!! It is a lot more hands on, which is exactly what Leah needs! She is enjoying it too...math is her favorite subject....for now! ; )





Here is my cute little Mady Moo and her little birdy, scary monster is what she named it. : ) She made this  in art class today.....yes art class......I need to work on my creativeness.......my OCD gets in the way of me letting my kids have fun with crafts....But, I'm getting better! : )

 

Here is Emma and her birdy named.......birdy! lol

Leah is so proud of her bird, bird. : ) They are so creative in naming things......they still want to name the baby Jr Asparagus....: )

Here is a video of Mady saying her bible verse from this week! So proud of my girls and memorizing scripture! I pray that God would capture their hearts and they would cherish His word!

"In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth." Gen 1:1

In science we've been studying Astronomy! This week we have learned how God created the different constellations and planets. How the planets help hold each other in space, and how the different constellations can tell us when a new season begins, a new month, and much more! We are amazed this week how God created the stars and planets and how He had a purpose for them! Not just to sit up in space and do nothing......I enjoyed teaching my girls how God even has a plan for them, not to just sit around and go through life doing nothing for Him..........He has a purpose for them too.....and you! : )

We have had a good week this week and are looking forward to next week!!!

School has begun!!

We started school today! We were suppose to start a couple of weeks ago, but we just couldn't let go of summer just yet. : ).....So we did a few more fun trips.  We went to Marbles Kids Museum! The girls LOVE that place!! Emma enjoyed the ship.

 She was waiting patiently in the "patient chair" for her pretend shot from Mady. : )

 Daddy checked her weight at the pretend Doctors office.

 Emma and Mady discovered America!! ; )


Leah decorated her paper doll.

So we did start school this morning. I had the girls take their picture holding up their sign. As you can see, Emma was not happy about starting school! lol....She is funny! She did have fun once she got started with her school work.











Leah was very excited to start first grade this year! She wants to be an Astronaut! Well, at least this week she wants to be one. : ).....Last week she wanted to be a Missionary!

 Madelyn started preschool! I have to keep her busy with something now that both of her sisters are in school! Well, at least till the baby's born, she will help entertain the baby. ; )

I turned 15 weeks pregnant last week when this picture was taken. I feel pretty big to be only 16 weeks!! I hope there's not a surprise baby in there?!?!? ;)

We are so excited to start our new journey in school this week and all the things to come this school year. Including a new family member mid school year! : )

We are definitely growing around here! ; )

Let the fun times begin!!
