End of the School Year

The last day of school is always a bit chaotic. Everyone is excited for a change of pace and the summer sunshine is absolutely screaming at us to play outdoors. You would think that this would be different for kids who don’t “go to school,” especially ones like mine who still do math and reading regardless of the season or day of the week, but it isn’t.

Our last day with our co-op was filled with energy, noise, and distraction. The kids launched the rockets that they built themselves, watched salmon swim up-stream and learned about hydro-electric power. Not bad for a blow-off day of school.

We also had a celebration dinner at Crystal’s house. The kids entertained us with the songs that they learned this year. Who knew that the scientific method, days of the week, insect anatomy, and citizenship could be so entertaining?
Check out those happy kids – I love it that almost all of them are barefoot, some are in pajamas and others are dressed like princesses. They make me giggle.

Happy end of school! Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts!
