First day of school today was not at all bad. We opened with a bible reading and prayer, and then launched into the language arts. It seemed a bit disjointed though, with a little bit of this and a little bit of that, and a lot of the boys sitting around waiting while I figured out what the next thing was to happen. But it was fine on the whole, and the boys said it was better than they thought it would be. After tenzees we continued with the history, reading, and read-alouds – we’ve kicked off with Charlotte’s Web which the boys are really pleased about. For memory work we’re learning Psalm 1 over the next six weeks, so just verse one for this week. The plan is to get some people together, like Steve and Maureen perhaps, and then get the boys to recite their portion in front of them – as a public speaking assignment. School finished shortly before 12, by which time I was fairly exhausted from the effort of being nice and patient, so I was glad to get out for a while to go to Lorna for beading! From Lorna I went directly to Tammy to collect the recording equipment which Nick is borrowing, and then briefly to town, before coming home at about 3.30.
