At the end of the year, I like to give an evaluation on how our curriculum worked out for us. As a reminder, Ari was in third grade and Cas was in preschool. First of all, we loved our cores. Exploring Countries and Cultures was a lot of fun. We enjoyed learning about our world... Continue Reading →
We made it! Our year came chugging into the station at full steam but we made it! We ended the year with Australia and then Antarctica. We watched videos of zoos in Australia and of a kid who traveled to Antarctica. We read about koalas, kangaroos and penguins. We learned about the Great Barrier Reef... Continue Reading →
April sped by and I didn't manage to squeeze in a blog post. My Ukraine students have been such troopers. They're dealing with all the things and yet still manage to smile for zoom class. The teachers have it so rough too. I am thankful for them all and have one month left to try... Continue Reading →

We're back in the swing of homeschool! We're having a blast learning about France since it's where Ari wants to go for her 10th birthday trip. I might also be staying up too late learning about France 😛 I'll get that figured out. We've also started working on learning some French with Duolingo and Language... Continue Reading →
