This year school looks different for all kids all over the world. We are blessed to be able to go back, even if it's with having to wear masks. Emma, Reese and Nora will go from 12-3 Monday through Thursday while the other half of the school goes in the morning from 8-11. It is different but we will take it! They will get most of the core curriculum done at school with some supplemental homework each day. But I am SO glad we aren't having to do virtual school at home. Being on the computer everyday is a little rough. This year Emma has Powell, Reese has Webster (LOVE HER!) and Nora gets Mrs. Mecham for the second year in a row. I think it's going to be a good year. Different, but good.
And FINALLY it was Lucy's turn. Her preschool didn't start until after Labor Day and Labor Day was very late this year. She was SO incredibly excited to have her turn and I am very excited she gets to go 4 days a week! Wahoo! I love this first picture below. Since her older sisters are home in the mornings right now, Emma wanted to walk Lucy up to the door for her first day of school. It was such a precious moment.
We started a new tradition this year that I am very excited about. We had our first back-to-school dinner as a family. I invested in a few things we can use every year and buy some balloons and a couple treats and voila! We use this time to talk about goals for the new school year, things they are excited about and our scripture theme. But this year for scriptures we decided to do the ABC Scriptures. Cade and I came up with some of our very favorite scriptures for each letter of the alphabet and each week we will memorize one as a family. So far we have memorized A through D and it's been great!
