Back to School Pictures!

This week was Cor Iesu Academy’s first week back to school.  Normally, I wait to start until September but a friend mentioned the idea of having an early summer and I hopped on it!  This year we have a 9th grader, a 2nd grader, a first grader, a preschooler and a tot-schooler.  My Freshman allowed me to take his photograph but made me promise I would not share it except with dad and grandma.  The tot-schooler, aka “preschool tag-a-long” was napping during pictures so here are our three middle children on the First day of school:
I love how the pictures came out with the map in the background.  
We also did  Schultute’s for the first time. {My dear friend Liz, blogged about them on the First Day of School Success post}.   They were filled with their school supplies and decorated with each child’s name and some cute stickers.  I also stuffed them with the remaining stickers and some fun items as well.  This year, I also color coded each child’s school supplies, that way if a green pencil is on the floor, we know whom it belongs to.  ðŸ˜‰
Did you start school yet?  Did you take pictures?  Have a blog?  I’d love to see yours too!  Have a blessed school year friends!

As We Commence a New School Year…

Back to School Prayers…

“Father of all mercies

We ask that you would bless the youngest and littlest of learners,

the most helpless and powerless of persons,

with Your infinite and loving mercy,

granting them the strength to learn, concentrate,

and act appropriately towards their teacher and fellow students (their siblings).

We also ask that You would watch over them,

at our homeschool and at play,

and grant them proper direction so that they may learn

of Your wonderful virtues.

We ask this in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ.”

Amen
