190. Closing the Year (Our Homeschool Year!)

Brittany and Tiffany Season 12 Episode 190

Mostly, homeschoolers must do one of three things to close their year with the state...

A Portfolio

A Evals

Testing

Depending on where you live and what flavor of homeschool you follow the requirements will be different...check HSLDA to see what your state requires.

But let's look at some out-of-the-box ways to say goodbye to this year's homeschool adventures: 

  • Your Own Yearbook or Movie (01:30)
  • An Interview or Narrative (04:00)
  • Celebrate Accomplishments (06:55)
  • Purge Books, Materials, & Unwanted Manipulatives (08:05)
  • Start Planning for Next Year (10:25)
  • Recap (12:45)

We like these because they fit no matter your capacity or your season...they have a wide range of doable...so don't choose A giant waterpark day where you're going to video interview each of your kids before they go down a slide in a magical transition emerging as a brand new "6th grader" only to come home and purge your home and start your planning for the next year....ALL ON THE SAME DAY.

We gotta work with what we have, mommas.

 And never forget,

YOU are doing beautiful work!

P.S. Don’t forget about the FREE LifeskillsNow Summer Camp! (This would be a great week to get your kids busy working on life skills while you purge and plan!)
