Yesterday we started school and I must say it was a pretty good start. I mean, you have to factor in the fact that brains have been on summer vacation (mine included) and it takes a little bit of effort to get back on a schedule. I always like to look back at our previous first days. We always take a photo at our front door. Not that I thought it would be the same front door for all of school, but it did hit me that we have a different front door on a different house this year. And it almost made me sad. Almost.
Do all kids get ridiculously silly during photo time?
I finally got them to stop giggling for a few seconds to capture these...
And since we have a new front door, that means we also have a new school room so I thought I would share!
We are really enjoying having a room just for school and it is right off of the kids' rooms. Our previous one can be seen here.And since people often ask what curriculum we use, I'll tell you:
Math :: Saxon 3
Science :: Apologia Botany and nature study
History :: We are combining Story of the World 2 with Mystery of History 2. This year we are starting a timeline book and I am so excited!
Grammar :: Rod & Staff, Preparing to Build with some First Language Lessons
Writing :: Writing with Ease
Spelling/Vocabulary :: Spelling Workout and Wordly Wise
Ok, well I have some cinnamon bread to go check on...

The pictures are adorable. It sounds like you are off to start an exciting new school year.
Have a fun year! The room looks great! I remember admiring the poster of the state bird and flowers. Can you tell me who makes it?
yay for school! the kids are so adorable, i guess they are excited to start? i love your classroom - it makes me want to learn too! :)
Hi Amy...your kids are adorable. Mine start school right after Labor Day. It is a new thing...routine. I have to admit I kind of like getting back into a regime. Makes me feel more productive. Your school room looks perfect:)
You and all the other home-school moms are so inspirational.
Didn't do it, but often wonder what kind of difference it might have made.
I''d love it if I got to go to class in a room so wonderfully inviting as that.
Adorable!! I have a 2nd grader too.
So cute! Love your little dude's shirt.
You have such a nice school room. We start next week. I'm not quite ready for routine.
They have gotten so big! I'm always impressed when people home school. Love the new class room :)
So proud of you! Your classroom is as inviting as the one you admired in the magazine! Oh, those babies!
Love you school room :) If you don't mind giving a novice home-schooling mom some tips I'd love any pointers you may have. :)
Amy, I love these pictures. Larkin is looking so much like Michael, so grown up.
