Gearing Up for Kindergarten!

It's hard to believe my little girl is going off to Kindergarten next week! She is so excited for school to start again, this has been a very long summer for her. Today she got to pick out her school backpack. She knew she wanted something with butterflies on it (she has been all about butterflies lately) and was very specific in her search. She actually found a purple and black backpack with butterflies and flowers on it (I was surprised). It is a cute backpack and seems very sturdy so it might actually hold up for a few years.

When we got home from backpack shopping, there was a box on our front step, for Chloe. She was so excited. It was her curriculum for the school year. I decided to go with a Christian curriculum called LifePac. It is very easy to teach from and does not require a pile of books either. For Kindergarten all she needs for Math and Language Arts are two workbooks for each subject that will take her through the year. I have a Teacher's book that is so easy to follow. Chloe was so excited to get her books and was ready for her first lesson. So as soon as Aidan was down for his nap we got started.

Chloe loves learning and did awesome for our first day. We didn't go through everything our daily routine will require for the school year, but it was nice to get into the workbooks and get started. Next week we will get a bit more in depth with her school but for now, an hour was enough. Classes start next week and she is besides herself with anticipation. I think we will have a long weekend.
