Three o’clock on school day #2: a snapshot.

Um, I guess I mean four snapshots.  Because I was going to use the metaphor of a snapshot to describe, er, these snapshots.  Never mind.

 

Kindergarten, still very excited about having math worksheets of her very own:

Second grade (reading assignment for the day, an article about animals that live in caves):

0831111455-03

 

Sixth grade, discovering the joys of tuning out the world in order to concentrate on the daily journal page (summarizing the plot so far of the book he started reading yesterday):

0831111455-02

Perhaps the most advanced of all of us, in some sense:

0831111456-00

Next stop:  Doughnuts for snack!  Because you have to numb the pain of the first week just a little bit.

  1. Great pics! I know you mentioned before that you bought a certain type of headphone set for the kids. I didn’t need any then but need them now. Can you comment as to what kind they are?

  4. The last is definitely my favorite.
    Can I peek over your shoulder a bit and ask about your kindergarten math curriculum. I’ve still not really settled on anything I like in terms of math for Bella.

    Melanie – we use Saxon, but I like to use Saxon K as preschool math – what with all the manipulatives, it really has struck me as a good preschool program. Even if you weren’t planning on sticking with Saxon, and I know many folks who don’t like it, the kindergarten level has much to recommend it.
    Saxon 2 and Saxon 1 have enormous overlap, something like half of the first grade level is repeated in level 2, and MJ is a good reader, so I am trying her out going straight from Saxon K to Saxon 2. So far so good.
    Edited to add: so to clarify, MJ is working on Saxon 2nd grade level in the picture.

  6. I find it interesting that two of your children are lefties! Are either you or Mark?
