First Day of Homeschooling

Welcome to our homeschool Teach Academy! 
We had a great first day today!
Here are the kids! 
My preschooler, 1st grader and 3rd grader!

Don't forget me! 
All the kiddos!

We started our day with our calendar.
The kids had fun adding the date, month, year, season and today's weather.

I also made another chart full of things we are using during calendar time.
Zoe is doing the Letter of the Week program from 
confessionsofahomeschooler.com
and we have a few printouts from that: spanish words, color, 
a Scripture starting with the letter of the week, weather graph and address/phone.
I also added: months, days of the week, days in school (from 1+1+1=1 website),
the Pledge of Allegiance, ASL letter, 
the state of the week from our geography studies,
and a Catholic saint of the week. 

I also put together a Chicka Chicka Boom Boom tree 
for Zoe to hang her weekly letters on.


After calendar we started our studies.


I also decided to use the workbox system that tons have people are using! It is SO awesome!
With 3 kids doing lessons with multiple textbooks and companies it was such a great way to be organized today! After the kids completed a subject they move that number to their card. 


One assignment for reading today was for Grace and Cian to both read a "Letter 'O' Book" to Zoe!


Looking forward to a great year!
