First day of kindergarten

We have started our homeschool adventure!  Katelyn is officially in kindergarten!!!

Five years old.  She's becoming more and more independent.


We have a morning board that we start the day with.  It includes the date, the weather, our address and phone number, prayer list, bible memory verse and character trait to learn each month, and the memory work that we have for the homeschool group Katelyn is going to be part of on Tuesdays.  Katelyn loved the morning board and I think it's going to be a good tool for us to use.


 Katelyn worked on learning our phone number.  We also did a bible story, practiced writing her first and last name (she can do her first but now that we've changed her last name and it's hyphenated she has a long name to learn), and completed two math worksheets.  She did great today and was eager to dive right in.  

We started school on Labor Day because Michael was off work and we were both able to be there to celebrate her first day of school.  We had lunch and recess at Gattitown (pizza and arcade).  Nothing says recess like a carousel and inflatable bounce house.  Katelyn said it was the best day ever and she loves Kindergarten.

It looks like she enjoyed her first day of school. And with Michael home, we get to see a picture of the teacher! Yeah! Love you.....A.B.
