School's out (side) from now on

I've been in touch with Freedom Academy to figure out how to get Alexis back for the last month of school and make sure we have places held for the kids when classes start back up in the fall. And yesterday, I got a call that is good for all of us!

This week Freedom was scheduled to be out Friday and with Spring Break next week they're only having classes Monday and Tuesday. Realistically, the soonest Alexis could go back would be April 20th (so she wouldn't be held accountable for the end of unit tests and projects). But state testing starts that week, and after that there are only three weeks of school left since their last day of class is May 22 (Sada's birthday, fyi). The administrators thought it would be best if Alexis stayed in home school for the rest of this year since she'll be right in time for the major tests but miss all the prep work.

Even though Alexis won't be back this year, they'll still be assigning teachers for Sada, Alexis and Paige next fall!!!! That was the biggest reason to push for Alexis going back, in spite of the fact that the flu and that hacking, lingering cough are still going around and I was really dreading having to deal with any colds that might come home accidentally. So this plan works for all of us. WHOOOOOOOOOO! And I'm still doing history, science, literature, recess (the kids feel it's their job to remind me about that and PE three or four times a day) and math to keep them all caught up without having to stay back a level when they start in the fall. I'll just spread math out a little longer to give us something to do this summer and we'll be perfect!
