Morning! As you can probably tell by the title, someone’s excited about summer vacation! Yeah. DEFINITELY me!
(as sarcastic as that sounded, I am actually super excited for summer. XD Even though it means aging out of my co-op, I need a break from school. :))
And yes, I realize this monthly recap is late. End of the year stuff is crazy. Especially with graduation. 😀
Goals for April…
The goals I complete will be in green.
- Write 25k (at least) for Camp NaNo
YES! I did win Camp NaNo! 😀
- Get halfway through Psalms
Not actually sure… I think I was close. Psalms is a really interesting book of the Bible to read through!
- Read 10 books
*cough* Nope. Only six.
But they were all pretty good books! 😀
- Betsy in Spite of Herself by Maud Hart Lovelace. 5 stars. (Goodreads)

- The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner. 4 stars. (Goodreads)

Wow, that’s a lot of five stars. hehe.
- Stay caught up with school work and my life while writing
Decently so, yes! 😀
- Finish Vanessa’s (my character) family tree

YESSS! It was so fun!! 😀

So, as I said before, I’m aging out of my homeschool co-op that I’ve been in since Kindergarten.
What am I doing next?
I’m actually going to be attending a charter school!

Wait… The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare? I started reading that a few months ago! It was from the library and I didn’t finish it, but it was a five-star read, you say? I might pick it back up again!
You did an amazing job with life this April! XD Best of luck on all your goals for May. May (haha, get it?) you accomplish everything that’s in your heart!
Ohhh, yes, you should definitely finish it!! 😀
Thanks Madi! (yeah, I get it XDD)
Sweet recap! What curriculum do you use Liz? Are you taking the Bible class for fun?
Thanks Libby! Curriculum for what? Just in general? I do the Bible Lightunits as an individual homeschool thing! 🙂
Yes the Bible. 😀
I think it’s Christian Light Education. 🙂 (they’re called Bible Lightunits)
That’s the curriculum that I graduated with. It’s really good! I recognized it when you said 807. Do you just use different curriculums for different subjects?
Oh really? How cool!! 😀 Yep, I use a lot of different curriculums. XD
Good job on your goals for April and I can’t wait to hear how you did on your May Goals!! YOU GOT THIS!!
Thanks so much for your support, Kaelyn!! 😀
I have finished my school! We are going to a family camp this summer in TN!
Yayyy, congrats, Lydia!! 😀 Ooh, that sounds super fun! 🙂
Yes! Thanks!
Hi! You have a stunning style and great writing skills! I would like to nominate you for the Mystery Blogger Award! The post is hopefully going up on my channel today!
