We finished our school year last Friday. Testing this year wasn't as bad as last year. Maybe because it wasn't our first time and we knew what to expect. Whatever the reason, we are glad to be done for a few weeks and enjoy our summer break. Since our move here (5 days before the pandemic), school was been a struggle. I'm going to make some changes for next school year and hope that things will be a lot easier. Then we'll hope for activities to start opening up so we can get involved and start making friends.
Linking up with Andrea and Erika for this weeks favorites.
Our year in review with our favorite things
Look at these two so little
2016-2017
2017-2018
2018-2019
2019-2020
Now so big with big personalities
Lesson planning happened a lot. This is one area that I'm going to change in the fall. I can't wait!
Math centers were definitely a favorite throughout the year
Creating sentences on extra large paper was always fun
Finding little notes from Sterling was the sweetest
Taking school outside made it a tiny bit more fun
Our mascot was always by our side
Daddy came home from Afghanistan and surprised us early
Little engineer in the making
We took a field trip on the Disney Cruise and ventured through the ports.
We learned some history on New Orleans
Using manipulatives made math a bit easier
How much water does it take to make 30 pennies fall through a paper towel? A lot!
Always goofy
And everything's funny when your mom's the teacher
We took a trip to the library and did a scavenger hunt learning about the parts of a book
Science experiments are the only thing that helped us get through the year
We concentrated real hard
We played a lot of games
Doodling made lesson planning more fun.
We spent two months practicing multiplication facts. Do-a-dots made it bearable!
No dress code required
Packed up all our essential supplies for our move
We made a lot of fun art projects
And learned about dinosaur habitats
Wearing your robe is totally optional and the benefit to homeschooling
We had some fun with gravity
And took extra time to learn about graphs and collecting data.
We spent a lot of time on Adventure Academy. Sterling learned multiplication from it and Xander learned a lot of history and science facts. It's good guys!
End of year testing
We've had a tradition to get frozen yogurt on the last day of school since Sterling was three and Xander was four.
It's still a favorite tradition
So glad to be done!
This is how I feel!
If you made it this far, thanks! We had a fun year and although we didn't take a lot of field trips, it was a pretty good year. We're not taking the entire summer off. We're going to work on math and language arts all summer. Going back in August after not doing anything all summer is pure torture, so not this year. No summer slide for us.
