Sariah’s Kindergarten Graduation
Mar

One benefit to homeschooling through K12 is that the students can move up in each subject once they have mastered all the concepts for the subject even if it is before the end of the school year.
Sariah had her last kindergarten lesson and assessment last week so we threw her a little family graduation party with ice cream cones. She also really wanted to open her birthday gift from my sister Sara-Jayne, early. So we got permission to allow that 
It was a pink sweater that she loves.
Teaching Sariah has been such a joy. She learned about patterns, adding, subtracting, graphs, solid shapes, how to spell sight words, syllables, improving her reading skills, Sentence structure, continents, different countries around the world and early American history and a lot more!
She made this train with her 2-d shapes after finishing up a lesson once. I thought it looked great.
I put a lot of thought into what would be the right thing for Sariah starting kindergarten. I really felt like I should homeschool but I was so unsure if I would be qualified to. We put her into a lottery for a charter school but she never got in so I decided to the K12 program and thought maybe I would try again the next year to get both Sariah and Rebekah into charter school. I liked how the school was set up and the kids were just so cute in their uniforms. However after 6 months of homeschooling I have come to love it. Rebekah is so excited to begin kindergarten in August. She loves doing her reading lessons each day and joining in with Sariah where she can.
Homeschooling two children will, I’m sure, come with challenges in the beginning and in the end will be twice the joy.

It sounds like, from talking to her, that the ice cream cone was her favourite part.
