Back to School

Yesterday was our first day back to school. Bekah is now in 2nd grade and Brandon is in 5th grade. It's crazy that my kids are that big! We definitely enjoyed our summer break, and it was a bit hard to get busy with school. Once we got started the kids seemed excited and enjoyed their first day. This year we are continuing to use My Father's World and we will be going through the Exploration through 1850 curriculum. The kids will be doing more subjects together this year (Bible, science, history and fun activities). Of couse they will each do their own math, spelling, and grammar. We are continuing with our science club and art classes this year. Brandon will also continue his boys' book club, and Bekah will be starting a girls' book club which is for the sisters of the boys' book club and meets at the same time and place. That works out well for our schedule! Bekah is also still involved in her Keepers Club. And we are continuing karate lessons for Brandon and dance class for Bekah. Wow, that sounds like we'll be busy! Thankfully our clubs meet only once or twice a month, so it's not as bad as it sounds.

We finished off our first day of school with a Back to School Party which was lots of fun! I'll post those pictures soon!
