That’s right, our school year is finally done!
Readers who are from Singapore are probably going, “Huh? So soon?” While those from the US are probably going, “Huh? So late?” 😀
Actually the start and end date is purely arbitrary as we school for 4 weeks then take 1 week off the whole year round. I could start school in January and end in December as per the local system if I wanted to.
The reason we ended up officially starting the school year in September was due to the fact that the year our oldest ds was to start Primary One in January 2005, I was expecting baby #5 in February! It would have been ridiculous to start school in January, only to take a 3 month break when the baby arrived. And to start school in May (3 months after baby’s arrival) would mean a very mad rush to finish everything by December. So in the end, I decided to start early, in Spetember 2004 instead, just like most Americans 🙂
Anyway, we’re done, we’re done, we’re done! Hurray to all of us! We managed to finish up what I planned (very scaled down and simplified) despite having a demanding baby who’s now 4.5mths old. God is good!!! 🙂
Now I have to pack up and sort out what I am going to keep on file and bring out the new books to start planning!

Well! Thank you for visiting my blog and letting me know I am not alone! I just read several of your posts here and you aren’t kidding–we have lots in common!
I have just been thinking about doing a 4 on 1 off school year all year round, and I really like Voddie Baucham.
I’ll be sure to get your RSS and keep up with all your goings on in Singapore!
Nice to meet you 🙂
