Since I didn't manage to come over to this blog for the entire school year, but I did manage to snap a picture or two with my phone, I thought I'd do a little catching up and post some photos from our 2012-2013 school year. Consider this our official homeschool photo-dump for the year. We'll try to do better next year.
We gathered our supplies....
And set out to tackle another year of homeschooling....
 |
| Robert - 3rd grade |
 |
| Andrew - 1st grade |
 |
| Zoe - Tot School |
We had a sweet back to school gathering with friends in the fall...
Did some amazing, hands-on science experiments...
 |
| observing the exoskeleton of a crayfish |
 |
| bones found when we dissected an owl pellet |
 |
| made rock candy when studying crystals in geology |
 |
| Geology really does ROCK! |
 |
| this was really amazing to watch grow over about a week |
 |
| And it really made for a super-yummy science experiment! |
 |
| We made homemade play-doh... |
 |
| ...and studied the layers of the Earth |
And went on some exciting field-trips...
 |
| Sometimes Daddy got to tag along too! |
We celebrated Dr. Seuss Day...
And just had fun learning together!
Of course there are days that are hard, but looking back: I'm so very thankful that this is the life that I get to live. I am thankful for the freedom and the privilege to homeschool our children. I am so proud of how much these three kiddos have grown this year. I am proud that they are growing closer together and growing in grace for one another. They have developed a friendship with one another that we desired our children to have. I'm looking forward to many more school years with these kiddos!
