Which means I get a temporary break - well sort of...
We celebrated our first year of homeschooling this past Thursday by talking and journaling about all that the girls have learned and about what this year has meant to them. It was pretty incredible to reflect on all that they had learned in six months!!! I am so proud of how hard they have worked. We have had fun too :) After our little end of year ceremony we headed to a swim party for the end of the year with our homeschool coop friends.
Here's the summary that I made for them.
What we have Accomplished in
6 months!!!!!
Ø Learned to speak and understand English
Ø Completed ALL of Math 2
Ø Completed almost ALL of Math 3
Ø Learned addition, subtraction, and multiplication facts very well and began practicing division facts
Ø Learned 70 phonograms
Ø Memorized The Swing, The Secret, Jeremiah 29:11-13, Psalm 119:9, 11
Ø Wrote many pages of sentences, journals, and stories
Ø Learned over 200 spelling words
Ø Finished 2 Levels of Rosetta Stone
Ø Finished 3 Explode the Code Books!!!
Ø Learned to read in English and completed many books
Ø Learned about 7 contintents and read books about countries all over the world
Ø Learned about the beginning of the United States, Christopher Columbus, Pilgrims & Indians, Thanksgiving, our United States Flag, The Pledge of Allegiance, 50 States
Ø Learned a lot more about who God is and how He loves you and read many parts of the Bible.
Ø Learned so much of life and love and family
…And I have learned what fun it is to be your teacher!!!! I love you girls and am so proud of your hard work. You are both so smart but more importantly you have sweet, kind hearts, you listen to us, you admit when you do something wrong, you work hard, and you ask God to help you by praying and seeking Him by reading the Bible. If you continue in this, then you will have learned the most important of lessons. I love being your teacher and I love being your mom!!
Let’s have a GREAT summer!!!!

We finished with me recording the girls reciting their memory work and presenting some certificates to them. They have truly done an outstanding job!!!
Here are two videos of the girls memory work - they are short but make sure you pause the music on the right.
We will completely break for a week and then do a little math, english, and lots of reading each day that nothing more exciting is going on :) Yea for summer!!!

Stephanee, How wonderful, so many accomplishments. The girls look like they are doing so well. It blows my mind when I think of all the things Justin has learned since he has been home. They are amazing kids! Nothing to do this summer? How about a road trip to CA? You could stay with us and we could show you around? Just an idea!
Stephanee~ Wow...what a wonderful post of the girls accomplishments! It looks more and more like I will be homeschooling Inna next year. I just pray that it will go as well as it has for your girls! I will probably contact you over the summer to get more info on what all worked for you :) Your family is just so precious!

they have learned so much! you and the girls should be really proud! I cant wait for a fun summer, and for them to experience the beach for the first time! its so fun to be there for so many of their 'first', i feel so blessed to be able to be so close to my nieces and nephews.
stephanee, what a wonderful post about the girls accomplishments. i loved the 2 videos with their reciting their memory work. what precious girls they are and i think you should give yourself a big reward for being such a wonderful teacher! like a day off?! you deserve it. i dont know many mothers that could do what you have done. i think you missed you calling in school and should have gone into education instead of finance! guess you are taking after your meme! i am so proud of the girls and all they have learned and of how willing they are to do as you ask. they are truly a blessing from God. love, mommie
