Hello Friends,
Somehow, we’re already here, with just three weeks left in the school year. Whether this season flew by or stretched long, we hope you can pause this week to take in just how far you’ve come.
There are still a few important things to wrap up:
✅ The final STAR 360 benchmark is due by the end of this week. Check in with your HST if you have questions about this.
🎉 Our Curriculum Showcase is this Friday! Whether you’re exploring and making next year’s plans or just want to connect with other families and programs, this event is always a favorite. Come be inspired!
And now, let’s talk about all those workbooks with a few unfinished pages, curriculum you didn’t quite complete, or subjects that got less attention than you hoped.
Here’s the beauty of homeschooling: You get to decide what finishing well looks like.
You can:
- 🌞 Weave in a few light lessons during the summer to keep things fresh.
- 📚 Close the book and pick up where you left off next year.
- ✨ Or move on altogether, knowing your child learned in ways far beyond the page.
There is no failure here. Homeschooling is all about flexibility, growth, and trust in the long game of learning.
If you’re looking for fresh ideas to keep learning light and joyful in these final weeks, here are some lesser-known gems:
- Wonderopolis – A daily “Wonder of the Day” that builds curiosity and cross-subject thinking.
- The Kid Should See This – Smart, short videos on everything from whales to weaving.
- Bookopolis – A Goodreads-style platform for kids to log and review books.
- The Great Plant Escape – A science mystery perfect for upper elementary learners.
- DIY.org – Self-paced, interest-based learning with projects in art, STEM, nature, and more.
As we enter these final few weeks, let them be full of connection, celebration, and the quiet confidence that what you’ve done is enough.
Kindly,
Kara Parkins, Parent Support Supervisor
