You are an AMAZING planner. Seriously. Your kids are so lucky. I wish I was creative enough to come up with a plan like this. I am excited to watch our first “official” year of homeschooling through your blog. I think this plan sounds WONDERFUL. You always amaze me.
i hope, these are the goals — the things i expect him to master over the year — and i have the materials … but i am less confident about ‘pushing’ though it all and retention… i hope 🙂
“your” nor our, sorry! Baby squirming on lap
