The Happy Homeschool Mom: Homeschool Wrap Up Week 34

We only had two days of school this week. We had company from out of town the other two days. Art's dad and his wife came down for a visit so Art took a couple of vacation days and we took 2 days off of school. Next week will be the last week in our regular school year. We will still have plenty of reviews to keep us busy during the summer and will continue with some reading and math.
