Back to School Book

As you all know, my family will not be going “back” to school this year, since we homeschool, but we did take the summer off and we will be starting school again next week.  We have found it is easiest on the kids if we keep our schedule similar to that of the rest of America, since most of our friends and many of our activities are on a traditional school schedule.

To that end, we are finishing up our vacation with a stay at our family homestead in Northern New York and we visited the wonderful, tiny, village library yesterday, where we read this wonderful school themed book.  The “one hundred days of school” project is dear to my heart because my mother always did it with her class and because PT’s “one hundred pieces of pasta” poster was one of my favorite parts of his time at kindergarten.  This book has wonderful family themes and subtly deals with the complicated emotions of our little kinders, all while reviewing ordinal numbers.  This is such a great book that I am going to buy it so that we can enjoy it throughout the year.
