We love our first day of school traditions! Breakfast out, this time at IHOP.
The number of students in our home school has dwindled from 6 to 3. It feels weird, yet is also really fulfilling to have graduated half of our children.
The college boy joined us for breakfast. Smart boy not to turn down free food! ;)
Son L. We have another senior this year!
Son C.
Little Man.
We made our cookie dough maps of the United States this time, with a special emphasis on the Louisiana Purchase, since we will be learning about the 1800's this year and are starting with a study of Thomas Jefferson's presidency. For complete directions on how we make and bake our cookie dough maps, go here.
On his map, son L set the Louisiana Purchase apart with chocolate chips. He showed the Missouri River with a twizzler. This is before baking...
....and after.
Little Man showed the Louisiana Purchase on HIS map by covering it with red sprinkles. Before...
....and after.
Son C did both with his depiction of the Louisiana Purchase ~ he outlined it with twizzler, and filled it in with sprinkles. :)
It was a great first day!
