The school year has ended!  We have been studying the pioneers and the various trails to the west coast.  We have learned a tremendous amount about traveling in a Covered Wagon, the construction of the railroad, the Boomtowns of the west and the Gold Rush.  We have completed our science study of the human body early and we have been introduced to next year’s study of the solar system and the earth.  I am very proud of all we have accomplished this year.  Each child has grown academically and in their desire to learn.  It is wonderful for me to see the excitement they have about learning. 

I plan to “casually” homeschool over the summer.  We will focus only on the main subjects; reading, writing and math.  I do not plan on keeping the same schedule that I use during the year.  We will all sleep inJ!
