survived my first semester homeschooling

Well it's official I have a second grader! Hard to believe I know! We decided to end the school year last Friday the 22nd so yesterday I averaged up all my cutie's grades and reported them (and our attendance) to our umbrella school! Parker got all A's I know it's hard for me to do that like I am cutting my kid slack but those are his actual grades. I did not grade on a curve since I am his mother or dumb down tests so my kid will get all A's (like so many people seem to think) He got all A's his first semester of 1st grade while in public school!
Here are his grades by subject:
Bible - 100 A+
Math - 98 A
Science - 97 A
Spelling - 94 A
Language Arts - 96 A
Reading - 98

We have already registered to homeschool for 2nd grade (we registered before March 15th and got a discount yeah I look for a bargain anytime I can) and I was able to buy all of his curriculum (including work books) on ebay and spent about $50.
Right now we are taking it year by year as far as homeschooling and we are looking to purchase our first home so if we are in a good public school district he will probably go back. Homeschooling isn't for everyone but it's working for us right now!
