This week we started Kindergarten. Samuel was so excited even though we haven’t really changed anything in our curriculum. To celebrate his first day of school, we went and met Daddy for lunch at Chick-fil-a. I forgot to take the camera to get pictures. Anyway, we have taken a break from school for about 6 weeks. During that time, Samuel has constantly been asking for paper and pencils or crayons so that he can draw pictures or write stories or both. I think the constant drawing paid off because I noticed his coloring and writing have both improved greatly in just the short break that we had. This week was lots of fun and Samuel was excited to be back in school. We finished up Unit 6 – The Promised Land – that we had started before our break and started on Unit 7 – The Time of the Judges.
