Back to School

Oh my goodness home school is hard LOL We have spent entire day doing lessons.  Since it is new, Staci does not know what to do just yet on her own.  So I have been learning right along with her.

1st day of school picture. 

  My brain hurts right now.  I forgot how hard second grade was LOL everything is a bit confusing.  So far a lot of time has been spent trying to figure out what book we are supposed to be using.  They sent us seventeen different books to use.  We need pictures of the cover to help us identify which one we are supposed to be writing in LOL We are guessing at this point, hopefully right.  We have to do at least 20 hours a week of school work, based on today that won’t be an issue.  Right now while I type we are listening to a live lesson from Staci’s homeroom teacher.  She is talking to us through the computer.  She sounds nice, but it’s an orientation lesson, so a bit boring. Have discovered two glitches so far. One is we can’t get the Tux Paint program to work, and the other is we can’t figure out how to use the microphone.  It appeared for a few moments, but then it disappeared.  On a cute note, apparently our cats feel the need to better their minds. Both have been coming over and listening to us do the lessons, or they just plop down on the books.  Is distracting, but cute.  I am ready for school to be over today LOL after this live lesson we are ringing the bell, and saying done for the day. 

One of these will be coming home with me LOL

Going to head to St John’s Town Center to go to Bath and Body Works.  I am needing my Autumn Scents.  I love the smell of apples and cinnamon in the fall.  So we are going there to look for an apple for this teacher LOL

btw: The picture is a tradition.  We have a pic of her in that same shirt for 1st day of preschool, kindergarten, and 1st grade.  We figure by time she gets to high school it will fit.  On the back we have written the names of her teachers so far.  By senior year it will be a nice memory shirt to keep.  At least that is the plan.
