The new school year starts... Monday! For us anyway--I spent all this week getting ready for the first day of 1st grade. The living-room/schoolroom has been cleaned at least twice, the school desk has been emptied and stocked with all new supplies, and his 1st grade curriculum now takes up the shelves that once housed his Kindergarten stuff. My baby is getting so big! The little brother was accepted to Headstart at the center and wants to go so it will just me Mommy and Izzy doing homeschool this year.
All that said, I be you are wondering about the pirate ship--am I right? Well, Izz is really into to pirates (today) and so I made him a progress chart till his first test. In the
Calvert curriculum there is a test every 20 lessons, so there are 20 little gold confetti pieces on the line.

| Gold confetti to symbolize lessons. |

| Pirate ship with his name on it! |
 |
| The Treasure! |
Everyday he finishes a lesson, he'll get to move his ship forward a gold piece, then when he reaches the
Treasure we'll go do something fun, like go to a movie or have a mini-party with his brother.

| So there you have it--we're all ready for a new and exciting year in homeschool! |
