school's out!

Thursday was the last day of school for all of our kids.  It was the last day of second grade for Mr. Shawn, complete with a party, snacks and gifts for his teachers.  Shawn and I had so much fun making the letters for the title page of his "book."  Which, by the way has 31 chapters!  (dictated to me last year)...

That same day the girls had their final day of home school (Annabel finished sixth grade and Sky finished eighth grade) with their sweet teacher Miss Yvonne.  They did research presentations for history and science.  Annabel taught us about Barack Obama and arctic animals.  Sky taught us about the first moon landing  and black holes and white dwarfs.  Did you know, in 6 billion years the sun will shed it's outer core and become a white dwarf just a little smaller than earth...

My kids are so bright and love learning.  They all had great years in school!  

Shawn learned to read better, a lot of math, history, science (his teacher's speciality), computers, and art.  Plus he took drum and acting classes this year.

The girls studied language arts, math, science, history, French, geography, theater, research, geography, and conflict resolution.  All the kids were happy in school and they got really good report cards.

I am so grateful to their wonderful teachers.
