Graduation and a Summer Update

In June our co-op had a promotion night and Josh graduated from Kindergarten.  I'm so proud of how far he's come! Feeling blessed to have been beside him along the way.
 
Although we've been on summer break since the end of May, we haven't stopped learning :)  The boys continue to practice their reading on a regular basis and we've begun our Magic School Bus Young Scientist Club activities, we are receiving packets each month with supplies for experiments on a number of different topics (more on my curriculum choices for this year later).

Our first packet contained information and supplies to discuss stars and planets, so for the past two weeks the boys have been going to swimming lessons and working on Science. They really enjoyed learning more about space and we, of course, had to watch the Magic School Bus episodes on each topic :)

One of the highlights was making this solar system!

Time is flying and before we know it we'll be starting up another school year, probably sooner rather than later since the boys have been asking to do more and more each day (especially Nathan, he's already 10 lessons into his workbooks....).  Hope you're all having a restful and blessed summer!
