School Days Snapshots - Juliana

So, after getting Kai settled into the preschool routine, rearranging our living room to establish a "school" area, and sorting through a new curriculum for the year (My Father's World), Juliana's homeschool teacher got her act together and FINALLY started school on November 8th! (One of the many blessings of homeschooling - flexibility of schedule!) We are off to a great start with first grade, and Juliana is enjoying school and learning so much already. We are very thankful for the discovery of MFW (thanks again, Vicky K and Kelly M!) - it's a good fit for us this year, with the addition of great read-aloud books from Sonlight curriculum.

(The bummer was that our househelper Nyaw took sick that first week of school and had poor health for the following month, making life extra difficult for awhile. We went "offline" for about a month while tending household chores in the evenings instead of emailing or blogging.  She's better now - PTL! - but more on that later...)

First day of First Grade - and we're ready to go!

Our sidekick is also ready to learn - when he's not napping or destroying the house!

So proud!

Smiling while copying her memory work from Proverbs - her handwriting looks great!

Authentic, no?

Juliana's favorite subjects are "art and read-alouds" (when I read books to her), and she's a very energetic girl, so loves riding her bike and playing outside when we take breaks.  She's also very silly and loves to daydream, so a major part of my job is to keep her on task. : )

 Juliana, you're doing a great job and growing so fast - it's gonna be a good year!
