Homeschool Report Card
As I've mentioned before our h/s evaluation by an accredited teacher is being done on Thursday. I wanted to have something organized for my piece of mind, so began write down what we've done.

very cool
And what do you do with your spare time? lol Whew!!! Wore me out reading it all.
Wow. I might want to rethink unschooling/homeschooling our future children!
So many people home school their kids here. I wonder why? Are the schools bad or what? I'm not smart enough to home school. My sons were in advanced classes starting out and passed me up by 4th grade! Both went to College and doing well. Now I have my grand daughters and enjoy working with them but know it will be short lived too. So far, the older one is behind in school because we think of needing glasses and no one knowing about it. The younger one is going to be like her daddy and pass me up quickly. I envy people who can home school. That must be why my girls didn't recognize any of your kids.
I have Caitlynn read to me every day, and we do projects around here. She is also going to summer school.

I think you're doing a WONDERFUL job!
Isn't it amazing what you cover. We don't have to report or test here in Idaho, but I like writing down what we cover because it always AMAZES me. Like you said, then there's all the stuff you left out. Wow, what a great year.
Wow! Do we have to report like that in WA or do you do it for yourself? Can you do that instead of testing? I'm confused.
You're doing a great job!
