I am so excited! Today begins our last official week of school! My 2nd and 3rd graders will be “going into” 3rd and 4th grades by the end of this week. I’ll still have a few things to wrap up, like their standardized testing and their science (we like to sit out on the deck and read our science during the spring/summer. It also helps with experiments involving dirt, leaves, seeds, weather, etc.), but our core curriculum will be completed!

What kinds of things will I do with my free time? My plan for spring/summer includes:

1. Get the garden in full swing
2. Prepare for and teach a basic music theory class at my church
3. Blog, blog, blog!

Here’s what is coming up over the next few months. I want to continue the series I started on training a month ago. Things just got busy and I haven’t had time to get my thoughts and studies down in writing.

I would also like to talk a little bit about my methods in homeschooling. The way I conduct school here at my home might not be the best way for everyone, but my few years of experience may give you some ideas.

And of course there will be much more time for fun kid projects also. Things like this mosaic fish or making healthy popsicles.

I am looking forward to writing and hope you will stick around to read it!
