100 Days of Homeschool

The first thing we did was make necklaces with 100 fruit loops.
Chloe celebrated her 100th day of school this week! We had been counting the days of school since school started in August. It has been a great activity to learn counting and PATIENCE!!! She has been very excited to get to this day so I knew that it needed to be extra special. Here are some pictures from our day!
We also made 100 day glasses. Here is Caleb sporting his 100 day glasses.


Chloe's glasses.

Chloe was pretty proud to mark off the 100th day of school!

100 pieces of monkey bread for breakfast!

We had lots of sugar. This is a picture of Chloe making her very own "100 Snack" from 10 different snack foods.

THANK YOU to everyone who gave Chloe 100 of something. That was her favorite part of the day!!!

Counting pom poms and making sure Grandma Judy sent exactly 100. She did!!

Counting 100 Animals. The kids got 45 animals without any help from me!
Thanks for all the great ideas Angie VP!!!

Daddy gave Chloe 100 Lego pieces (his old ones) and she had to make something with exactly 100 pieces.


Chloe made a house.
One of Chloe's assignments. She didn't finish  the $100 part.

Another assignment for the day.
We had a really fun day and even had time to read some 100th day of school books from the library. I would highly recommend "100th Day Worries" by Margery Cuyler and "Emily's First 100 Days of School" by Rosemary Wells. Thanks to all of you who helped make Chloe's 100th day of kindergarten special. Now I guess I just need to start preparing for the LAST day of kindergarten!!! Crazy!

Chloe's 1st Day of Kindergarten!

 Chloe had her first day of kindergarten earlier this week....at home. Yes, we are homeschooling her this year! We tried to make it extra special for her. We took pictures in front of the tree with her new Dora backpack.
 We had breakfast together with Daddy and I made her favorite....WAFFLES!!
 I displayed some of the books we will be studying. We are using Heart of Dakota curriculum. The Kindergarten year is called Little Hearts For His Glory. We are also using Singapore Math, Explode the Code Phonics and AlphaPhonics, and A Reason For Handwriting.
 The kids wanted to ride to school on their bikes so we took a bike ride before we got started.
 Cameron was excited for the first day of school too (or maybe just the waffles; I'm not sure!)
I can't believe my baby is a Kindergartner! Even though we are homeschooling it is still a BIG milestone for this girl and her Mommy! I know that you will do well Chloe!!
