First Day Of School

Today was the first day of school for the second, eighth, and ninth graders. They all enjoyed it, polyestor uniforms and all! The eldest son had his orientation day last night at college, and I was able to go with him before spending the night in the hospital. He is highly motivated, and we found all of his classrooms. He has an apartment and is working at a local supermarket. The first grader is homeschooling with me, and it is pure joy. He is wonderfully meticulous and creative. I am pretty sure the creativity would not be brought out as often in the public school classroom. Each time we finish something, I ask him if he wants to draw a picture of what we just studied. He then puts his own flair, his own version, his own meaning to what we learned.
