We finished out our school year last week with a final week long field trip to the beach! We love going to the beach and since the oldest just finished Appologia Zoology 2, it seemed a fitting end of the school year!
It's hard to believe that we have been homeschooling for 3 years. As a brand new teacher 15 years ago, this is not a journey I ever thought we would be taking. However, the longer we do it, the more I am able to see that this is most certainly the right choice for our family. My first "homeschooling goal" has always been to get the oldest to 3rd grade and know that if we wanted, we could put him in public school and he would be on the same page as his peers. I believe that we have accomplished that goal!
We may not be forever homeschoolers, and we plan to take it year by year, semester by semester, day by day, but for right now we embrace the chaos!
Here is a look back at our year!

Teach your children well,
Their father's hell did slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh
And know they love you.
