Whatchadoin? #12, starting the new school year!

I deside to take a break from my "Insta-replays" while we get into the swing of things schooling wise.  Hopefully it will be a short hiatus.  I am going back to the "Whatchadoin" school focused post, not as much fun for my relatives but I'm sure they will bear with me as long as I have pictures of the kiddos.
This is our official first week of school.  At the halfway mark things appear to be going smoothly.  We are using check lists so the girls can see what needs done each day.  
One small hiccup has been swim lessons.  I put them off until the last moment so now we are inturrupting school to drive to lessons and back each afternoon.

It's hard to tell if the afternoon break is helpful or hurtful.  The swim lessons themselves are deffinatly helpful.  We already have plans to start them at the beginning of summer next year!

  Today we worked hard to get the basics done before lessons so afterwards we could work on a project.  Using the blank books from target the girls each made a "If I were a zoologist" book.  Besides having fun drawing they had to include the different jobs we had learned about that a zoologist could do.

Officially starting the school year, that's what we're doing!
