First Day of School: Success!!!

This is just a quick note to let you know that yesterday went great! Needless to say, Sydney is determined to finish 1st grade this month! LOL! =) She finished 2 weeks worth of work in 1 day, and she wants to read every single one of her reading books right away. She's dying to start writing sentences and stories in Language and to start speed drills in Arithmetic. I love it!! =)

The other two are doing great as well. Larissa almost completed 3 days of work, and (because of my error in ordering the wrong books) she began writing in cursive on the first day and did absolutely beautiful work.

Alyx almost completed 2 days of work and probably would have done more, but she insisted on doing all the suggested supplementary pages at the end of her Arithmetic book. I guess she's taking after her Mom, Dad, Papa (my Dad) and Poopaw (Jason's Dad)...she LOVES Math!!

We're off to a fantastic start!

Soo funny!!! Isn't that excitement great. I ALSO ordered the wrong writing book! They have too many to choose from! Ryan did tons of pages his first day too. I'm planning to move him to 1st by Christmas, he is already using the first grade book for Letters/Sounds or Lang.
