Our 5 First Day of HOMEschool Traditions {5 Days of Homeschool 101}

Yesterday was the first day of school for our local school district and everywhere I went I saw "Welcome back!" signs, and parents posting First Day of School photos. I remember the feeling of going back to school in a new grade with a new teacher. I had my backpack (new!) full of all my new supplies. I had a new outfit on. I was ready to conquer...3rd grade! LOL. There is so much fun involved with the first day of school, that it's only fitting that I try to make our first day back to HOMEschool special too. While we don't start back to our new school year until September, I have been thinking and planning it out now. I hope that my traditions might give YOU some new ideas for making your first day back to HOMEschool something special too!

The first day of school is exciting for us, even though we are a homeschooling. Because I want to set it apart from the rest of the year, I always try to have traditions to make it memorable and fun. None of these are really unique, and I don't do anything fancy. This is just how we celebrate the first day of new year of homeschooling.

1. I make their favorite breakfast

The boys favorite breakfast hands down is pancakes, so the first day of school begins with pancakes, toppings, and even...WHIPPED CREAM! I also get a bit creative with the pancakes for some fun. The day definitely gets off to a great start with a favorite breakfast in their belly!
