We have officially finished our required 180 school days! Woohoo! This may not seem like a big deal because we do school year round, but when I can see 4-5 lovely weeks stretching out ahead of me with no school, I am as excited as the kids!
No school gives extra time for house cleaning and all those projects that get left behind while we are doing school. I have cleaned off and organized all the bookshelves. I have cleaned out what clothes I still needed to go through for the kids. I filed and organized all our school things from the past year. I updated all the school records for the year and filed those. I cleaned out the kids school boxes. I helped Charles clean out his room. (The girls had been done recently.) I cleaned out Abby’s (the baby I keep) clothes and packed away what she had outgrown. I even cleaned out the van! I also set up Hoomeschool Tracker for the new school year and printed off the things we need for our summer unit. Whew! I feel industrious!
I plan on taking the next few weeks off. Kathryne and Charles have drama camp the first week of June (which I will count as school), and Charles has flag football camp the second week of June (which will probably be a vacation week).
I hope we can take a few field trips the next couple of weeks while the weather is really nice and before regular school gets out.
This week, we also finished up dance and AWANA with a recital and awards program. So, programming is officially over for the summer also!
