Our Fall Term started last week.
We rearranged our classroom.
Started with coffee, of course...
Rye insisted she wanted "real" coffee in her cup...
... I think she liked it.

There were many other things not pictured, like a lesson on Earthquakes, LoF Decimals & Percents, LoF English, 100 Essays: Essay #1: The First Day of School, Lunch & Break Time, Books Aloud and more.
We ended the day with cookies.
In an ideal world, maybe they would have been homemade cookies. That was the original plan, too, make a special treat to close out the day.
But, homeschooling (amongst other things) has taught me that we do not live in an ideal world and sometimes, one must wing it.
