Ichthus Christian Academy opened its doors today with much excitement and expectations of success. The boys found it hard to sit still for long after a summer in which little time was spent focused on academic pursuits. But a start was made, goals were discussed, and school supplies were organized and stowed.
John's report: First we made our 3-ring binder covers. Then we organized the room. Then we made a list of things we wanted to learn this year, followed by some reading time. We got our calendar set up, Mom read a story aloud, and I went to a piano lesson.
David's report: Mom acted like my preschool teacher did last year. It was a very fun thing. We have a school pet: Blue our cat. I drew a picture of a schoolhouse. I did calendar time. I looked at my new math book and did a maze that was too easy. And then I rested.
