Zachary's First Day of Pre School

So even though we have done countless workbook pages, and just learning in everyday and every chance we can, this was the official start of Pre School for Zach. I wasn't even going to do anything official for him, except that Zach so badly wanted to start something, since Malachi was starting Kindergarten. So I'm putting together a little something for Zach each day. No official curriculum like Malachi does, though. He was just as excited. The first thing Zach sleepily said this morning when I woke him up was, "I'm so excited to start Pre School." Praise God. It was awesome.




First Day of Kindergarten

After waiting months and months, Malachi started his first day of Kindergarten today! We went to Walmart in the morning and splurged on a backpacks for him and Zach. The backpacks added so much more excitement to the day! After a shortened rest time, Malachi got up to do his first Kindergarten lesson. He already knows so much with letter recognition, letter sounds, spelling, etc that it was really easy for him. But I didn't want to skip the lessons he knows because each lesson teaches God's word and a character trait that are foundational to a God-loving and fearing life! He stopped one time in the middle of the lesson and had the biggest smile on his and said, "I can't stop smiling!" It was awesome. Thank you God!
