my sweet 1st grader

the coolest backpack-ironically, she and her bf cousin both picked iCarly!!
It's hard to believe we have a little 1st grader! With homeschooling, it doesn't seem as "huge" when we begin our new curriculum in August as it would if she was leaving the house and going to a school. Rachel's been anxiously awaiting the beginning of Learning Grove ever since all her friends started back. She was so excited this year. She now gets to go to 4 classes: Science, Creative Writing, Music and Art. She was very nervous the first day, but quickly warmed up and loves each class and all of her teachers. The class has expanded from 8 last year to 11 this year...and it has increased from 3 girls to 6 girls! Rachel has to take a binder to school and it has dividers with all 4 subjects listed (in her own handwriting) on each tab. She loves her little binder. She loves putting the information sheets she gets in each class into each section. When we pick her up, she can't wait to open that 3 ring binder and show us her new handouts. She loves science and brought home an experiment sheet about things that are soluble in water and we've already done it (with Bradley's help, of course!). They both thought that was awesome! She also loves music and comes home singing everything she's learned. She LOVES to sing! She has a piece of sheet music and she loves looking at it and singing. I'm excited that she's already understanding notes and tone. She has a journal that she writes in for Creative Writing and she loves that too. We don't see the journal yet, because her teacher keeps it each week. In art, they've already created something, but again, it's kept by the teacher till the end of the year when they will have an art show to display their work. Anyway, we're so glad to be apart of such a fun group and can't wait to see what Rachel learns this year in 1st grade!!
