wrapping up our school year...

Isn't it amazing that the school year is already almost over? This has been by far our best homeschooling year and on one hand I'm not sure I'm ready for it to end. On the other hand that's been the goal I've been working toward for the last 8 months!

Each day that we do school I keep track of the day of the week, the actual date and what day it is in our homeschool. It ends up looking like this.

Day 139

So I always know exactly where we are with attendance. (Our state requires 186 days of school.) I am constantly calculating how many weeks we have left and if we are on track to finish by the end of May. (We are.)

And yet now that the end is in sight I'm a bit sad. Like I said before this has been our best school year by far. Not so much complaining, good choices about materials and an overall sense of comfort have been our companions this year. I just hope they know they're invited back in the fall!
