Done with our first year of Calvert!

Today is a great day. It marks the end of our first school year in Calvert School. Yay!

Nicholas and Alexander submitted all of their exams the Friday before last. Alexander still had some work on his research report to go though, so he kept at it while Nicholas worked on penmanship and fishing.

After weeks of diligent work, Alexander put the finishing touches on his report today, outline, bibliography, and all. His paper is unbelievably well thought out and well organized. I doubt I could have even come close at his age.

Not only that, but he was able to get interviews with five of the leading researchers in the field thanks to the magic of technology. Something like that would have taken months when I was a kid, if I'd even been able to find out their names at all.

We really can't begin to say how grateful we are to everyone at Calvert who helped us. We couldn't have done it without the amazing staff there like Cecilia and Maggie. Most of all we are indebted to the unwavering support of the boys teachers, Jean Soyke and Shannon Frederick. They have been an amazing resource for us. I can only hope we are so lucky again next year!
