Kindergarten!

It has arrived! My little girl started Kindergarten today! We have chosen the homeschool approach for our family this year and hopefully there will be more to blog about that later. For now, here are some of those "first day of school" photos inside the doors of our very own Giddens' Academy. Come on in! No hall pass needed!

As you can see, Nathan will be riding right along with us as much as he can. We are all very excited about this! Conveniently, Luke's naptime will fall right during school time...for now.

We did take a couple of much needed breaks. They decided snack time should be held laying down on the floor. They are so cool.

The scoop...
Just for wondering minds, we will be using the Kindergarten "My Father's World" cirriculum this year which includes, math, Bible, science, art, literature, reading, and creative thinking. Tory will also be teaching them an additional something once a week...should be educational for us all! :) But, I have to say the thing Abigail is most looking forward to is her "co-op school". She is WAY excited about her co-op. We have joined a homeschool group call "Home for His Glory", in which we will be able to participate in field trips as well as their co-op. We will go on Thursdays and she will be taking World Geography, Fantastic Fall, Ballet, and Math Games. She is very, very excited about this. Nathan will also get to be in the preschool group and have structured learning and play times and Luke should have a structured time in the toddler class. We are pumped!

Thanks for checking out our 1st day and we hope to post more as we go along.

The picture of Nathan pushing Luke in the swing is hilarious.
