A Look Back on Our Year with Ambleside Online

I feel like this year was a big year for me, with having three official students (one of those being in high school) and pre-schooling twins. I'm not sure how the year managed to fly by, but it did and we have closed up the books. There have been so many good books floating on and off the shelves and it makes me sad to think that some of these won't be opened again for a long time. Thankfully, I have some young kids to cycle through all these old friends and I look forward to reading with them in the future. 

What We've Been Up To

It's super easy to get discouraged by other's progress and that isn't what this post is supposed to do... but instead, to encourage all you moms who are just quietly working each day with one or two or more children. All that consistent work each day really adds up. We're feeling cooped up, like everyone else in the world, but we are working on being kind, doing our best work, and habit training. I thought I'd share a peek in pictures of the past few weeks.

We just finished the MEP Reception year!

A Look Back at Term 1

We finished Term 1 yesterday! I feel like we need to have balloons and confetti! :) It was a long term, for a variety of reasons but looking back, I can see that we accomplished SO much! 

Planning 9th Grade with Ambleside Online

We are officially entering the high school years at our house with K! We will be using Year 9 in Ambleside Online, adjusted to meet her needs. It's no joke that there is quite a bit of extra planning needed in preparation for these upper years! I found myself quite overwhelmed at times and am hoping I haven't overdone it with the book load, but we can always cut back and move things around if she finds it too much work. This daughter is a high achiever and loves to learn about such a variety of things that I think she will really enjoy the books and still continue to read in her spare time :).
