First Grader at Work

 It's back-to-school time, and for Naomi, the commute to school has decreased from 11 miles (last year) to a few steps to the sunny, big room at the back of our home.  Here she is at her new desk, finishing up her math meeting...
 

 ... The brothers join her for math because the manipulatives are so fun!

Later, while Ezra naps,  Naomi and Johnathan do a science experiment with magnets.

I snapped this photo during a quiet moment while Naomi worked and the boys found fun books to read.  It is not staged... but it didn't last long!  Few moments are this idyllic when the Boaz kids are learning.  But we feel the noise, planning, work, and craziness are worth it!  We are learning A LOT (and not just the kids!).
