Scenes from the first week of school

Another homeschool year is underway at Dayspring Academy. 
Katriel is starting her Beyond Little Hearts of Dakota guidebook, which means drawing continents on the driveway.  I guess I parked too close to Russia?

Originally, we had not planned to have Marie take classes at FLCC this semester, because of her soccer and CBS schedule; however, once we learned FLCC was almost 100% remote, we were able to register her for Intro to Literature (with a favorite teacher of the Butler crew), and Intro to Functions, which is the entry level college math class.

Johanna decided to grab the bull by the horns on day 2, though her early arrival to the school table threw off the planned earlier risers.

Nan was the only one to brave the pool on September 1st.  She was the last swimmer of the year.

As a 9th grader, Tab now joins the ranks of 6AM Biology with Dad legend.

And Johanna took it upon herself to learn how to make scrambled eggs so she could help us some mornings.

Nigel is no longer a student of Dayspring Academy, though he still spends most of his days here, doing FLCC classes from home.  He doesn’t mind saving the gas money, and the girls and I love having him around.  We hope this remote stuff doesn’t follow us in to 2021; but we are making the best of the situation.
