Taking my first break of the day.
Today has been a typical Thursday - DGD5 to school, homeschool, eat lunch at school, DS8 recess with his friends, DS8 to speech therapy, me to do 3 hours of volunteering at school, get DGD5 from school. Next week will be my final volunteer time for this school year.
I made the decision a few months ago to do year round schooling. There was a slew of pro/cons to consider in this decision. The pro's won by a landslide. We take a week off every month, plus holidays, family members birthdays and we have 19 floating free days we use when needed. I do keep track of how many school days DS8 has done in order to meet the requirements of our state homeschool laws (must have 180 day or 1080 hours of schooling). He is currently on Day 160 of 3rd grade. When we complete Day 180 of 3rd grade we will start the day count back at Day 1 for 4th grade.

LadyM, when do you "finish" homeschooling for this year?
