Mostly, homeschoolers must do one of three things to close their year with the state...
A Portfolio
A Evals
Testing
Depending on where you live and what flavor of homeschool you follow the requirements will be different...check HSLDA to see what your state requires.
But let's look at some out-of-the-box ways to say goodbye to this year's homeschool adventures:
- Your Own Yearbook or Movie (01:30)
- An Interview or Narrative (04:00)
- Celebrate Accomplishments (06:55)
- Purge Books, Materials, & Unwanted Manipulatives (08:05)
- Start Planning for Next Year (10:25)
- Use our Homeschool Plan Like a Mother, or you can do this with a piece of copy paper
- Recap (12:45)
We like these because they fit no matter your capacity or your season...they have a wide range of doable...so don't choose A giant waterpark day where you're going to video interview each of your kids before they go down a slide in a magical transition emerging as a brand new "6th grader" only to come home and purge your home and start your planning for the next year....ALL ON THE SAME DAY.
We gotta work with what we have, mommas.
And never forget,
YOU are doing beautiful work!
P.S. Don’t forget about the FREE LifeskillsNow Summer Camp! (This would be a great week to get your kids busy working on life skills while you purge and plan!)

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.
