Last year I ran across Sprittibee's simple idea of having her children hold up their fingers for what grade they were in. Only problem was, Little Bit was in Kindergarten last year. So, I did this:

| Goin' to school barefoot just like Abe Lincoln! |
Continuing the tradition, here are this year's first day of school photos:
Sweetheart, 5th grade.
Little Bit, 1st grade.
And one together. I love these girls so much.
So, did I steal this from you last year? I don't even remember. I should be ashamed. Plan to do the same this year! Your students look so cutesy!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful girls! We haven't started school for the fall here yet, but I had wanted to do a picture like yours with the grade numbers - thanks for reminding me!!

Oooh, I LOVE this idea! I am going to steal it!
ReplyDeleteI don't really think of my girls in terms of grade level - that varies across different content areas - but this is a really cute idea. And your girls are adorable. I'm at #7 on this week's list if you want to pop on over there. :^)
ReplyDeleteHi, Brenda. Thanks for visiting my blog. I just wanted to respond to your question about my daycare clients thoughts on homeschool. Yes, they're public school teachers, but one is a believer and so wholeheartedly supports it; the other family probably thinks I'm a little weird (lol - I am!), BUT they love having their daughter in a small home setting...and their girl is WAY "ahead" of same-aged peers cognitively so I know they're happy. They could have put her in K4 in public schools this year and saved a bunch of money, but they chose to keep her with me (I'm doing a homeschool K4 with her and the other girl, but it's essentially akin to private school tuition they're paying). Now each family is expecting a new baby...so I get to repeat with their new little ones. :^)
ReplyDeleteLOVE holding their grades in hand!
ReplyDeleteHappy homeschooling to you all with prayers of a blessed year! Catherine Anne
