First Day of Kindergarten!

Today we embarked on a new adventure.  Faith started Kindergarten!!  And this is an extra big deal because we have decided to home school her for this year!  While at first Faith expressed a desire to go to a "real school," once all the books and curriculum arrived, she was excited!!  We took advantage of being able to totally set our own schedule, and we started on Labor Day!!  Steve had to work and we had no plans, so I figured why start the year out trying to do five days of school in four? 

The official school day and year started at 8:30am, and by 10:00am we were finished for the day!  Faith loved what she learned today, with handwriting being her favorite part, and is already excited for tomorrow.  In the picture, she is holding up a small project she did today.  Since we are learning the letter F this week, she found some pictures in a magazine of things starting with the letter F, cut them out, and glued them on this paper.  Cutting proved to be the most challenging task of the entire morning, but she made great progress even within the morning!  Hopefully we'll all remain excited about learning as the year continues...!!!
