I wanted to thank each of you for allowing me to come along side you in your homeschooling journey this year. It was a privilege to tutor your children. I have been truly blessed by my experience with them. Yesterday was a very emotional day for me. I will miss them so much. :(
Also, thank you for the surprise gift bag with treats & gift cards. I was so overwhelmed by your thoughtfulness!!!! What a generous gift!
A few final notes:
GEOGRAPHY- I was able to grade the countries & capital from the first part of our geography exam. They should have brought home a "totals" sheet that I created that has the number of capitals, countries & features for each section (just taken from guide). Remember that some features (i.e. oceans, equator etc) are appear in more than once per section. Hopefully that will make it easier for you to grade. Please take a look at their drawing of the world from the 1st day of class and compare it to what they finished yesterday. You will be amazed!
LATIN - I was able to get all the Latin final exams graded. I did take off 1/2 point if they were missing macrons (they are important! lol). If you would like a copy of the key, please let me know & I will scan it in to you. Be sure to look them over.
RHETORIC - I was so impressed with the students apologetics papers! Those LTW skills are paying off. The students took the catechism final at the end of the day. Obviously I was unable to grade that. Some were not able to finish so I just marked where they stopped and said they could finish at home. I hope that is okay. You'll grade those at home.
RESEARCH/SCIENCE - I was able to get all 4 body systems graded. Be sure to look them over-they did amazing!
I know some of you took pictures yesterday - if you could forward those to me, I'll get them uploaded (plus I'd love to have a copy for me!). Mrs. Smith videoed all the readings of the apologetics papers. I am giving her some DVD's and she will burn a copy for everyone. I will get those to you as soon as I can.
I think that wraps everything up. I hope your students enjoyed this year as much as I did!
