the finish line is in sight!

We are so close to finishing up the school year!  Two months ago I thought we would finish earlier than this, but we've slowed our pace a bit and been busy (distracted?) with other things, and spent a week traveling and it's just slowed.  I'm extra thankful we maintained a nice solid pace for much of the fall.  Spring is busy.

The pile of "finished" grows daily and we are in the midst of a big math review of the content we covered throughout the year and our last writing assignment is 'due' Friday and I'm excited, but also a bit nostalgic that it's all coming to a close.


This is the first full year that we have (somewhat) successfully navigated the home school - local school combo.  Hallelujah.  I feel like we all deserve a medal :)  

Today Isaac sat at the home school desks with us for a short while.  It's definitely going to be a new ball game with him out there this fall.  I joked that I might need to invest in another white board.  The girls LOVE to pretend they are the teacher and they can't resist the pull of the white board!

The biggest changes next year are for Isaac though!  He'll be leaving local preschool (probably in late June, early July) and starting local elementary school in early September.  That means he will always be home in the mornings and attend 1st grade in the afternoons (same schedule as the girls).  I'm excited to have him with us, but also not sure how it's all going to shake out :)

Mostly, right now, I'm looking forward to some slower paced days this summer.   Just a bit more to do and we will be done for the year!  yay!
