Here are the hotly anticipated back to school photos you have been waiting to see. And by you I’m probably talking to the grandparents.\u00a0 Every one else just enjoy the usual cuteness.\u00a0 Today was our first day back to school.\u00a0 Last year we dabbled our toes in a home-schooled Kindergarten designed by yours truly.\u00a0 However this year we are using a well established fully planned curriculum (more about that later).\u00a0 We chose to start with a First Grade curriculum even though Adela has a higher academic understanding to acclimate her to the concept of extended schoolwork\/multiple subjects.\u00a0 I have a feeling we will be flying through this by Christmas time and possibly doubling up lessons.\u00a0 We will move onto second grade as soon as she finishes –\u00a0 I have a feeling if we continue to home school she will be working well above her age level.\u00a0 However I will have that independently verified when the time comes.<\/p>\n

Now for some fabulous pictures.<\/p>\n

Schult\u00fcte<\/p>\n

Steven and I wanted to do something\u00a0 for Adela’s special day.<\/p>\n

So we borrowed a lovely German tradition of giving a child a schult\u00fcte on their first day of first grade.<\/p>\n

Adela’s schult\u00fcte contained watercolors, pencils, a tiny Lego set, some books, a school hello kitty, and a few other small things.<\/p>\n

Adela is currently obsessed with the Cam Jansen series.<\/p>\n

In her schult\u00fcte she received a Young Cam Jansen book (a beginning second grade level book).<\/p>\n

She also likes the original series (third grade level).<\/p>\n

Her reading skills are amazing and we are working on bringing her comprehension (and ability to share) to the same level.<\/p>\n

Thanks for Looking<\/p>\n

PS – Did anyone notice the Hello Kitty obsession?<\/p>\n
