We finish up preschool next week. Here are our favorite books from our final themes! Of all the themes we studied this year, Geography was by far my kids' favorite. Who would have guessed? They were fascinated by the maps and learning about the different kinds of places people live. They have also gotten very into their art projects lately. Annie has learned to write her name and knows all the answers to our catechism. Jacob knows them but is usually too busy to be bothered with answering.

This summer we will continue reading lots and lots of books, working on writing our name, learning our phonics flashcards, and having morning Bible time, but we won't be quite as structured. In the fall we will pick up with 4K and be a little more formal than we were this year, but not too much. There are plenty of years of learning ahead and for the most part we are just having fun right now!
