The Start of the Years: Curriculum Choices


The End of the Years: Completion
  • 2011-12--When I taught preschool to a 4-year-old and 2-year-old and had a baby in March!
  • 2012-13--When I taught Kindergarten with a 3- and 1-year-old tagging along!
  • 2013-14--When I taught 1st grade, Pre-K to my 4-year-old, with a 2-year-old tagging along, and had a baby in January!  (This year we did not do an official end-of-year ceremony because we ended school the week of Easter before dashing off to Biltmore House and Hilton Head.)
  • I did not write a conclusion blog for 2014-15--When I taught 2nd grade and Kindergarten, with 3- and 1-year-olds tagging along, and I had a baby in July!
  • I did not write a conclusion blog for 2015-16--When I taught 3rd grade and 1st grade, with 4- and 2-year-olds plus a baby tagging along!
  • 2016-17 and an Academic Year in Review--When I taught 4th grade, 2nd grade, and Kindergarten, with 3- and 1-year-olds tagging along, and I had a baby in August!
  • 2017-18--When I taught 5th grade, 3rd grade, and 1st grade, with 5- and 2-year-olds and a baby tagging along!
  • 2018-19--When I taught grades 6, 4, 2, and K, with 3- and 1-year-olds making it exciting (to say the least)!
  • 2019-20--I taught grades 7, 5, 3, and 1, with four- and two-year-old boys keeping me on my toes. I never held an end-of-year ceremony and celebration or wrote a summary for the blog because "It was 2020!": In the span of a few spring months, our home was hit by a tornado, we arranged for numerous, disruptive home repairs (like a new roof) due to the tornado, our 13-year-old had (unsuccessful) surgery, the two-year-old broke his leg, the world locked down because of the novel coronavirus, Chris' mother caught COVID-19 severely, and our four-year-old was diagnosed with cancer. I spontaneously ended our year in the first week of May (see here) and did provide our summer school plans (see here)--although those were instantly abandoned with Thomas's cancer diagnosis four weeks later.
