Today was our first official day of school. Here we are on the porch before getting started.
This is the schoolroom our mom set up in the basement for us.
After some name-game songs and opening up our schoolhouses to start the day, we practiced tracing our full names.
After that, we had 2 minutes to find 3 things in the basement that start with the same letter as our names.
For our lesson, we learned about the origins of names, family crests, and looked up the meanings of all 3 of our names! We got to make our own crest where we drew pictures of each of the meanings of the names.
I drew a soldier, a deer lover, and a bright sun.
E drew himself helping rake the yard, a knight's shield and helmet, and a bright sun. Then it was time for us to pick something from one of the "stations" set up in the school to do. I worked on a collage, and E played with dominoes.
For snack time, we got to make our letters out of strips of cheese. Yum!
Recess at the park ended our school day. I can't wait until tomorrow's school!

You are so cute and such a super mom!!!
This was so fun to see! The boys look like they're having a great time. I have to ask though. What's up with M and his "find three things that start with the same letter as your name" activity? I can't figure out how his three objects all start with M. Please explain!
The car's name is "Mater" The block has some mushrooms on it, and then milk! He wanted to go for the less obvious since he is so mature and learned his letters "when he was little."
Such cute pictures. When did you let your boys get tatoos on their arms. I think they are a little young to look like old sailors. Sounds like school is going great.
I knew the car was called 'Mater, but I couldn't see the mushrooms on the block. That's so funny that he wanted to be less obvious about it, being so mature and all.
you're amazing, I can't believe you did all that and still had energy to blog about it! stop, could you just give me a little of your creativity/energy?
