Last Day of School!

We FINISHED!!!

This has been a challenging semester, but we conquered it and crushed this school year!

Alison finishing up 8th grade math...on her trusty homeschool dog :)

We joke that Maya HAS to be by math books.  As soon as they are open, she is there and trying to be in the middle of it.

Colin finishing up his work was the most bittersweet for me.  Last time teaching 3rd grade math...

But, as we were sitting out on the patio, with our lunch and working on coordinate planes, I thought about how much I still really love this.  I absolutely love how our days are together and I love teaching these kids.  And kids, when you are reading this years from now, I hope you have finally found your appreciation for how fun coordinate planes are...right now, you are not convinced.

Colin's last grammar lesson:

 
 Can you see the little feet hanging out of the hammock?  Another one of my favorite sights of homeschooling.  Colin is out there reading.


Another one of my favorite things...Eli finished school and had lots of time to build Legos.

All the books were done and papers written and it was time to party!  We started our celebrating off with going to see Peter Rabbit in the theater!

 

 Then we made sno cones.

 



We ate pizza and watched 'The Mysterious Benedict Society' that just came out on Disney+, which fit perfectly because we are halfway through the book.  

Then Ben handed out the certificates.

Alison graduated 8th grade!!!  High School here we come!

 

 

 Eli graduated 5th grade!  Middle school here he comes!


Colin graduated 3rd grade!

  I'm so proud of all of us!  It was another year of homeschooling that I thought many times, "It's a good thing we're already homeschooling!"  I love it, I'm thankful for it and I can't wait to see what high school holds!
