Ausmumof3 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 There are lots of pics of cute kids and backpacks on facebook today as lots of drs friends are starting school. I didn't think to take any first day of school pics but we did have a good day. Ds wrote his maths answers in a separate notebook for the first time and layed it out fairly well. Writing with ease looks like it might work for us. Dds sounding out is faster than at the end of last year. The kids found a bearded dragon in the yard and released it into the bush. I love homeschooling. any other Aussies start today? How did it work for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabella Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Glad you had a good and productive first day back. I'm not homeschooling any more :(. Youngest is in uni, but we loved our time, and the first day back each year was always kind of exciting for us all. I'd take first day pictures in front of the whiteboard that said Welcome to Year 3, 5, and 6 (or whatever)...even sometimes on the second day if we missed the first, and just call it 'new school year' pics! It's kind of fun to look back on. Good luck for the rest of the school year! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasperstone Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Yes, sort of started...but it was interrupted by a house inspection. So we had to clean like crazy because of the short notice. The lady is very interested, so was worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewingmama Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Well I took 143 photos of my kids first day back to school LOL. We went to an Adventure Park with waterslides and mini golf. For some reason I didnt get any pics in my newsfeed of friends kids going back to school this year...maybe the kids are getting older and not wanting pics or something IDK. Field trip day tomorrow again Homeschooling is awesome LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsabelC Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Tassie schools don't start until next week, but we've had our "everyone's gone up a grade" celebration and are gradually easing into our program. I'm really looking forward to February because hopefully the horrible weather will have changed (16 and rainy today! in January!) and we can sally forth without everywhere being full of school kids.
