We've Completed Another Year

Yay! We have (finally) completed another school year! This means we have satisfied our 180 days required by our county. We still have a few lessons to be finished and we will continue learning over the summer, but at a much more relaxed pace. Yay!!!! :0)

Over the past couple of weeks as we have completed certain subjects, it has been such a great feeling of accomplishment. I love to finish things. I tend to have the disorder of starting a project or curriculum and losing interest and not finishing it. (this has plagued me since I was a child) This leaves me with a terrible feeling. So, I have been working on that and I'm glad to say we have finished a whole bunch this year! What a great feeling!
We have already ordered most of our curriculum for next year and it is on the way. Depending on how things go after the new baby is born, we will probably start our next school year in late August. See how I nailed that down with such certainty? ha ha That's a great thing about home educating, we can set the dates and curriculum around our preferences. I love that! :0)
Have a great summer break!
