Thoughts on ending the school year...
The days are finally getting longer and warmer, and we at Casa Vasile cannot be happier. And as is my wont when the seasons change, I get thinking and I like to examine our lives and the current state of things. Lent and Easter came and went too fast. We're in Term 3 of Year 4 and Year 2 of the Ambleside curriculum. Next year, I will be homeschooling A as well, so that will make 3 school-aged children, one in Year 5, then Year 3, and finally, Year 1. I am wanting to do more, yet questioning myself if what I am doing is not enough. It is hard to be absolutely confident in homeschooling when the norm is exams, and peer-to-peer competition in a brick and mortar school, so one gets feedback, and a metric as to how one's children are faring through that. But I realize that I have an amazing privilege to be with my children and have a direct hand in everything they learn. However, in that, my weaknesses also will be as consequential as my strengths, and to me, that is a scary though...
