We have officially completed our first day of the 2008-2009 school year at the Timms Family Homeschool! Our middle of the week start was intentional to coordinate with some curriculum suggestions as well as to give us kind of a gradual ease back into the routine of school.
It was a great first day. We are using curriculum from My Father's World for the second year in a row. I love this curriculum because it combines all the best of the top educational philosophies into one cohesive plan AND it can be used across age levels. Last year we did an overview of American history which we loved. This year, we will be "Exploring Countries and Cultures"-- which basically means we will be studying world geography and cultures with a Biblical emphasis on missions (both past and present). Since we will be 'travelling' around the world this year, the girls had to apply for 'passports' as one of their activities this morning!
Mommy's "Passport Office" is scheduled to deliver their passports within a week... perhaps I could give the US Passport Office a lesson or two on time management??!!
We started the morning with Krispy Kreme and ended our day with ice cream... what better start to school could a kid ask for??

ONLY 179 to go! :) I'm glad your first day went well!
What an exciting year the girls will have learning about God's world. I can't wait to see their official "passports" to travel and look forward to learning more about their itinerary. Did the teacher also apply for her passport so she can accompany them on their world-wide trvels? It's hard to believe you're starting in the 3rd year of homeschooling, such a blessing and enrichment for all of you.
Lots of love and prayers,
Mom and Anna
