When we homeschool year round I am not really sure when our official first day of school is, as we kind of just flow from one thing to the next. But, I do still want to have those special memories and keepsakes to watch our children grown and change each year. We decided that each August, as traditional school begins, we will do some special beginning of the year activities to commemorate our journey!
Ryan - 5 1/2 years old
Connor - 3 1/2 years old
Luke - 2 years old
Our Crew - August 2015
We also have started a special growth chart (made from an old piece of wood from our house) where we measure each child as they grow each year. Along with this we trace their handprint each year on construction paper that I then laminate and write the year on. We will keep all of these handprints together for each child on a special ring to watch how their hand grows through the years.
Finally, we have a fun little interview with the children to keep to always remember what some of their favorite things are, what their handwriting looks like, etc! Happy "New" School year!
