For the end of second-grade I decided to again administer the California Achievement Test (CAT) to Boo to see if he was where I thought he was in Reading, Language Arts and Math. Once the results were in, I called it a year and we were officially on our break.
But, as anyone who homeschools their children knows, though formal lessons are done for the year, that doesn't mean learning ends.
Boo is definitely an outdoor kid - he loves anything and everything outside - so this year, to instill a deeper love of all outdoors, we planned our first great road-trip to not only learn about things in the US, but to see and do things as part of the learning experience (no books were harmed in this adventure).
Since this year Boo asked for a week at snowboard camp for his birthday, we took that as an opportunity to create a loop drive from Missouri to California to Oregon and back to Missouri.
Our route:
Missouri --> Kansas --> Colorado --> Utah --> Colorado --> Arizona --> California --> Oregon --> Washington --> Idaho --> Utah --> Wyoming --> Colorado --> Kansas --> Missouri
Phew!
