First Day of School 2012

Our first day of school was last week, but this is the first chance I've had to post about it.

We started the day with chocolate chip pancakes. Each kid got the number of their grade. Those 4s and 2s aren't easy to make.

 

We also had some special cupcakes for the first day.

 

Of course, we had to take first day of school pictures.

First Day of School 2011

We had a great first day! We've been off much longer than normal and are in a new house so it's going to take a while to get back into our routine, but I'm happy with today. We did a little review and started our unit study on chocolate. What better way to start off the year than learning about chocolate? I definitely had the kids interested immediately.

We started our morning with chocolate chip pancakes (something fun for the first day and it goes with our unit study).

Then we headed outside for those first day pictures. Cute signs came from here. Molly was so excited and said she couldn't wait to start school because she's never gotten to do 1st grade before.

Red Robin for dinner

For the past few years, I've made a special cake for the first day of school. Previous ones are here and here.
