thoughts on when and how to wrap up your school year

make joy normal: cozy homeschooling

Elizabeth and I talk about the end of the school year. What to finish, what to put on hold...what to forgo! We have a lot of good conversation about what "done" actually means and about what education actually is.
We also talk a little about the importance of keeping records, so I've included some resources from my website here in the show notes.
1:34 - What happens if you are behind in the curriculum by end of year?
5:13 - Learning happens through the summer in spite of you
9:05 - Teachers make the call
11:46 - Teaching our children how to learn
18:14 - Do you recommend starting from where you left off next year?
22:25 - How long do you focus on a subject?
24:59 - Teaching multiple ages and family dynamic
27:51 - What if you and your spouse don't agree on end of the year plans?
32:25 - How do you deal with the guilt of ending before the book is finished?
