First day of school!

Today was the very first day of Homeschool!

It was a great learning experience for the both of us!

The very first thing Gavin saw when he went up to his classroom door was his little check-in and check-out of school pockets. He loved this!

First day of 1st grade picture.

Here is the right side of our little classroom that you see upon entering. The right includes our supply shelves, and on the wall is our bug craft web, and the Periodic Table.

Art Center and Health Center (We have a different center every day, but this was just some of the the ones up today).

 Here are all our books, and our display board. Our closet is filled with games, science projects, my planning shelves, workbooks, stickers, flashcards, puzzles, construction paper, etc.

Here we have Gavin's desk next to the Workbox System. This system is a great, fun, and organized way to homeschool, it was created by Sue Patrick. I heard it about from many other parents and I am so glad I tried it. Gavin loves it! Next to it is a Monster Math poster, and above we have a few posters on grammar and the Scientific Method. 

               

                       

 Our Classroom has a My Neighbor Totoro nature Theme. It's a film by Hayao Miyazaki. All his films are magical, and full of possibilities. They teach you to see beyond the obvious. I want the experience in our class to be much of the same. Gavin is a big fan of his films, especially this one. 

      

Thanks for visiting our classroom on our first day! We look forward to adding more to it as we continue on our adventures!
