Natasha: I practiced letters. Last year it was very harder to practice letters, but this year I just chomped through it. I felt good about being able to practice my letters easier. I ate a cookie and some milk as a snack.

We expect to do the second half of this “first day” on Monday afternoon.

The children were all three very responsive to the changes in activity as directed by the timers.  I think we all enjoyed having the level of direction and surety of “next thing” it offered.

Started a day early I didn’t yet have a couple worksheets I meant to, so I expect I’ll be biking over to Office Max or Kinkos before Monday, and rectify that.
