First full week of school

What a fantastic first full week of school! Things have been moving full speed and the kids seem to be getting the swing of things around here. Practicing our schoolhouse routines and schedule was our main focus for the week. We are also continuing to learn more about each other every day. 

Monday we headed to Deep Eddy pool via bus for our annual swimming experience, only to discover that they were closed for maintenance. Harumph! Instead, we walked to our neighborhood pool and swam. It tuned out to be a fantastic swimming day. 

During self-directed time, the kids have been hustling and bustling between swimming, fort improvements, building with blocks, and imaginative play. Friday we opened our time capsule from last year and put in our new artifacts from this summer. It was exciting to see how much has changed in one year. 

Tomorrow our field experience is at Mud Cliffs on Shoal Creek!
