First Day of School!

The girls and I are excited that it is the first day of school!

We will be spending a lot of time in our school room this year:


The girls enjoyed all of our activities today, but their favorite was "What Did You Roll?" in Math Center.

Madison decided it would be more FUN to roll the BIG foam dice down the stairs. ;)

Stay tuned for many more homeschooling activities and adventures this year.
