Monday: School Orientation
Luke set out our "Smith Academy" t-shirts for everyone to wear, which was super sweet. Unfortunately, one of his brothers decided to surprise him during breakfast and tickle him.
Of course, his bowl of cereal went flying and so did his milk - all over his shirt. Whoops!
That's how we roll over here.
That's how we roll over here.
This was the first year I sat down and created a detailed mission statement, short term goals, long term goals and specific spiritual, developmental and character goals for each kid. I'm so glad I did! It was a great exercise for me. During orientation, we reviewed those goals. They were very receptive!
I selected a family Bible verse with the help of our "principal." This is our theme for the year.
Jesus replied: “’Love the Lord your God
with all your heart and
with all your soul and with all your
mind.’ This is the first and
greatest commandment. And the second is
like it:
‘Love
your neighbor as yourself.’ Matthew 22:37-39
I taught them how to use our new Daily Notebook
(more on that later) and they decorated the front page.
Then we reviewed our school schedule, expectations and new curriculum.
And we're off!
