Already, this year has been one of firsts in our homeschooling career. This is the first summer where we took an actual summer break. It's also the first year that we are doing a formal Preschool program and a dedicated Morning Circle time. It will also be the first year that we'll spend about a month this fall homeschooling on the road. In anticipation, we are taking a step back from doing our Co-Op this semester. We plan to jump back in this winter, but are planning to enjoy the gift that the extra day in the week gives us. If this first week is any indication of how our year is going to go, then I can say with certainty that we are in for a pretty stellar year!
