Yea!!!! We made it through another year of home schooling while adding a whole new dimension to things in January. I am very proud of the accomplishments of each of the kids. I have seen them each grow and develop in specific areas. It is a privilege to school each of them and it’s not a duty I take lightly at all. Michaela has grown even more in maturity and independent learning, Benjamin has improved dramatically in spelling, Elijah has gone from very limited English vocabulary and ABCs to reading Green Eggs and Ham, Johanna learned she is a poet, and Ami has memorized a lot of the book of James as the rest of us memorized the whole book. There is much more of course, but I won’t boast any more. 
We are ready to celebrate! We are headed to STL to visit the Botanical Gardens (studied botany this semester), swim at the hotel, and then pick up Chris at the airport. He has been in Orlando this week for a conference. Then we will visit the Arch and Louis and Clark museum tomorrow (studied Westward Expansion in history this year). Summer here we come!
We have very gifted and excellent nieces and nephews! Great job kiddos – you’ve done great this school year! Have fun in St. Louie!
Good Job, Jocelyn, on finishing strong! Very proud of the kids, but the teacher needs credit, too!!
Have fun in St. Louis – If you see any RAMS there, tell them ‘hi’ from us!!!
