First Day of School 2012

The Muller kids started school today!  We were about a week behind the rest of the neighborhood, but that flexibility is one of the joys of homeschooling!  We normally start the Monday after Labor Day, but the teacher got a bad cough that lasted for over a week and fell a bit behind schedule.  :)

One of the things on the schedule was some back to school shopping....
Set up some fun things on the kitchen table for them to see in the morn...


They were quite happy with what they saw. 
Caleb said to me "I thought today was gonna be boring, I didn't know we were getting presents!"  :)






Before breakfast - some fun coloring!




Kid's choice for breakfast....
Why Cheerios of course!


 Caleb asked for a picture with his presents...


 ...and Emma needed one too!


Dressed themselves... pretty good!
All dressed up and no place to go :)
Most days you will find us in jammies or sweats, but today was a special day!

Then we got to work! 

Caleb is working on mostly 3rd grade work and finishing up some 2nd grade work. (If he were in public school he'd be starting 2nd, so we're doing ok :)

Emma is starting with 1st grade this year.  (She'd be in Kindergarten)  Her learning style is quite different than Caleb's.  She seems to not get frustrated as easily as Caleb, but her attention span is a bit less focused than he was at her age.  

Love learning their little quirks... the fun has just begun!

(Sorry no pics of actual school, we just got busy and I forgot to keep snapping pis)
