1st Day of Kindergarten

We started school today! Olivia is in Kindergarten and Audrey is in Preschool. Olivia will be homeschooled 4 days a week and then on Fridays she will attend a school program for homeschoolers where she will go to "school" with other kids her age. Her first day of that isn't until after Labor Day but we wanted to get a jump start on her school at home so we started today.

I read on a website some things to do to make the first day of school at home fun and one idea was to make a special breakfast. They wanted pancakes so my mom was visiting and she made them pancakes shaped as their first name initial. They thought that was pretty cool.

Another idea was to wrap up their school supplies and let them open them before you start.

Before we started our day I asked them some questions like a little interview and I might ask them the same questions every year to see how their answers might change.

What do you want to be when you grow up?
Olivia- a vet
Audrey - an astronaut (she said it so cute and I this was a surprise to me, I didn't even know she knew what that was)

What is your favorite color?
Olivia- gold (WHAT? I didn't know this, I thought it was blue or orange)
Audrey - pink

What are you excited about school this year?
Olivia- coloring inside the lines
Audrey - cutting

What is your favorite thing to do when you're not in school?
Olivia- playing with Angel & Adolfo
Audrey- playing with Alexia

What is your favorite food?
Olivia- spaghetti/steak with sauce
Audrey- pineapple/avocado/Chipotle/spaghetti

What is your favorite thing to play with?
Olivia- Ollie (my mom's dog)
Audrey - Alvin and the Chipmunks (her stuffed animals)

I meant to take a picture of them before school started outside the house but forgot. Olivia had already changed clothes but I took a few after school anyway.
