If you don't watch friends, then the title will not be nearly as funny. But, the sentiment remains... that something important has come to a close. Emma finished her last book, and test today. We celebrated with an ice cream party. Since Caleb is only one book behind her, he will probably finish in the next couple of days (although it would not surprise me if he wanted to "power through" so he can be done too, and have ANOTHER ice cream party!!).
This is the first formal curriculum we have purchased, and it has served us quite well. I know that you can use just about anything, and what works with one won't work with others. But, I have been comforted by having something to guide us, and we have had so much fun along the way. I have so many fond memories of their journey this last year.
They went from reading "C-A-T" to "Constitution." And so, it is with a tinge of sadness that I close up our box and pack away our stuff. But, it won't be long until I can bring it back out for Mr. Noah!! And won't it be even more fun, when Emma and Caleb can rejoin me as "teachers". =)

What's the next step? Are you just done for the summer?
Love,

Awwww.....I know how you feel. Bittersweet but very exciting too. Congrats to all!!
No, no... actually Emma was highly motivated because she wants to get her hands on the new books. We usually continue on through the summer, so that I can take a day whenever I need it. Also, we are more relaxed when Daddy is off. =)
Yeah, Emma. Congrats!!! And congrat to you, to, Lisa. We decided to take the summer off. So, we just finished the short U book and I gave Amber her last test and we will resume in August. (see my recent blog post) I love Sing, Spell. Thanks so much for showing it to me. It suits us well, too. And Amber also likes "teaching" Autumn the sounds of the words. : ) What fun!!!
