First Day of School at last

Today was our first day of school in our new school room. I've decided to blog with pictures to show how it went.

This first picture is of my husband, Jerod cutting the ribbon into our new school room. I felt it was fitting that it be him since he put the most time and energy into building it. We had a little bit of a ceremony to make it more exciting for the kids.

Here are Eden and Joey sitting at the school table with their new pencils they received as a first day of school gift.

Here's our Jade coloring on the chalk board. We placed it low so she could have fun using it.

Here's Jager just sitting here with all the excitement swirling around him. Here we are ready for our first day!
Our first lesson today was about the first day of Creation. We are studying Hebrew Culture for our first 4 week block. The first day of Creation consists of God making light, so we did paintings depicting what that may have looked like.

This one is Jade's. She is only given one color to paint with at a time. Since our study was on light I though yellow was appropriate. Our budding artist!

This painting is Joey's. I like how his light intertwines with what was once the darkness!

This painting is Eden's I like how the light seems to flow onto the page from somewhere else.

This is mine.

After reading the Bible verse and making our paintings, we took a walk and picked up things that remind us of the season. We came home and read books. Afterwards we worked needle felting. Now we are getting ready to make lunch together. So far it's been a really great day!
