Tree House Academy Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 My kids will finish up May 1st for my little and May 15 for my older, barring any unforeseen circumstances. That is 180 days for each of them. Of course, we will move right on to next year as soon as we end this year (we school year round for the most part and take breaks when we need it). So...when will this year end for your kiddoes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMW Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 We are working very hard to finish mid-end of June. It wont happen before mid-June, that is for sure. But we didn't start until mid-late Sept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillary in KS Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 This year is a little different, because we moved mid-summer, and so we didn't begin until Sept. We'll school full-time through May, and then go lightly in June. We'll take July off, and begin again in mid-August. USUALLY what we do is to school year round, but we take many days off in May/June and Sept./Oct., when we really want to be outside. We school during July/August afternoons, when it's to hot/humid to be outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraceyS/FL Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 End???? I'm just getting back in the groove! LOL!! We school year round - and i expect to have some issues come up and drag us behind in the next few months. Oh well, we will just roll into the next year when we finish this one....

Jenny in Florida Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 My daughter's college semester ends on May 19. I'll need to be available to go pick her up and bring her (and too much stuff) home. And, once she's here, my son cannot really focus on schoolwork. So, I planned our year to wrap up the Friday before she comes back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannqn Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Our virtual academy requires us to continue school through June 30th. It's a late end because they give us all of December off. However, if we have "banked" extra hours throughout the year, we can use them in lieu of doing school any time we like. My son has enough to be done mid-May. My daughter had enough to be done mid-June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elohcin Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Are you kidding? We school year round- so it never ends! Our switchover date is August 1. We will take our term break head to the lake and then move everyone up a grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver0f10 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I am aiming for May 31st, but we will probably have to go a few weeks into June with TOG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faline Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 We will finish up around the beginning of May. Start back up again in July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth in Central TX Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Our last day of school is June 12th. We will take off 6 weeks for our summer break and start back up again on July 27th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athena1277 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I was just looking at my calender yesterday. We are on track to finish mid-late April. Of course we started in July. We will take off May and June for the most part. I plan to do some review here and there, and maybe a fun, no pressure unit study for those months. I hope to start back in July again. It makes it so much easier when I don't feel pressured to finish getting all my days in, plus it gives us plenty of wiggle room when we need to take days off.

sassenach Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 June-ish. We have a move looming in the next 1-2 months and I'm not entirely sure how much it's going to throw us off track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Mid August with a week break in February and another in May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dm379 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I'll try at the end of May but it is doubtful. We took them out of ps in Oct. so I've spent all this time bringing them up to grade level. They were behind in a couple of subjects. Plus we're moving in a couple of weeks. We'll probably do school 2 or 3 times a week during the summer too.

sgilli3 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 End- some time in December Start- in the next few weeks ( we are following southern hemisphere's terms) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 We should finish current books around the end of May, but we go year round so we'll just move on. I'm not sure if we'll continue full force or with a lighter schedule, though. Our official new year begins July 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellifera Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Our year finishes June 30th and the next year starts July 1st. We school year round. They usually get a break sometime in there, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree House Academy Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 Yeah, we call it the end of the "grade" when we stop...but we move on to the next level book whenever we finish the one we are working on...I don't *wait* until they move up to start a book on the next level. That would drive me insane trying to coordinate everything to end at the same time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmamainva Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 May 28th is our last day ... then we have a week of standardized testing to do and submit to the state. Then our oldest graduates from homeschooling!! We'll start up again on August 31st. I've already typed up my curriculum ideas list for next year and, for the first time in 14 years, my oldest daughter isn't on it. :crying: It's all good...just rather bittersweet!

Paula in PA Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Officially scheduled, our current year ends June 12. But I hope to have most everything finished up the week before so we can do the evaluation our last week. We'll take about a month off, then start up again in mid-July.

Cornerstone Classical Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I want our school year to end the Friday before Memorial Day weekend, but it looks like we will have to go on a little while longer to finish up WWE, and MFW.:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy101 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 started a bit late for us due to morning sickness and took nearly 6 weeks off for new baby/end of pregnancy woes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelia Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 It depends on the subject.... We school year round, but try to take a break in the summer. We should be done with everything by the end of June (Spanish, MBTP, FIAR), but we finished reading and handwriting for K already so we have moved on to 1st grade work there, and math will probably be done by the end of next month. We'll take a break in July (just 3Rs, lightly) and start the next "official" grade in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaik76 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Our school year runs July 1 through June 30 (so year round). So, even if we finished all of our curricula in May, we would just begin the next books and consider it part of this year. The kids rise in grade on July 1.

cjzimmer1 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 We'll finish the end of April. My parents own a greenhouse and we work for them in May and the first two weeks of June. Then we have school for two weeks. A week off for church camp, a week of school, two weeks off for the kids church camp and Bible Quizzing finals and then back to school full time in August. We just start and stop books whenever. New books come out as soon as the old one in that subject is finished. We don't really have a beginning or ending to our school year or even when we "switch" grades. I can't even decide what "grade" to call my oldest since he works on a spread of 6 grade levels between his strongest subject and weakest subject. School and life are so intertwined we just consider it all a forward progression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 We will be done at the end of May. We take a few weeks off, do a light summer schedule and will start again in the middle of August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
