The first day of first grade

Well, we all survived the first day of school this year. Ashlyn had a great time and enjoys her new teacher, Mrs. Denny. The boys I and got to visit John at work in the morning, ate breakfast at McDs, and got in a two hour nap just in time for her arrival back home. That is going to become our new tradition without her - naptime - we all forgot what that was like for awhile and everyone, even mom, quickly remembered the joy in that time. We'll keep you posted on that too. Ashlyn's favorite thing about yesterday was having 3 recess time. Our favorite time, probably the nap :0) More to come, we are going to teach Joshua to read this year during our home school time. A friend from CO teaches her children to read between 2 and 3 and we are excited to try it out too. We'll keep you posted on his progress and Caleb's speech concerns as we work on them.

She taught her two older children using Abeka and now uses hooked on phonics. Her kids are so smart and she gave me a few tips. They all started to read well at age 3...Joshua is almost 4 so I thought I would give it a try, we never started with Ashlyn until 5. We can talk more about at church if you want.
