We started Homeschooling in 2014, as I was making my lesson plans for January 2015 I glanced over what Karter has learned since September and I was so surprised! Time is flying by and I'm so grateful to be able to spend this time with him but I want to attempt to document it with pictures and progress all in one convenient area...I thought a blog would be a good place to try!

I'm so grateful I decided to put this together, I had pictures and videos scattered about 2 tablets, a desktop computer, and a cell phone...way too many devices in this house!! lol Anyways, it was worth the afternoon of searching to compile this little summery of our first half of the year of Kindergarten! First is pictures, then a little summery on what we did then some super cute videos!
