Homeschool 2009/2010

Well, I know I've been absent a while - but not without good cause. We were able to escape Memphis for a full three weeks, thanks to our awesome volunteers and staff here in town! Since we've been home, I've been busy getting school ready for the fall and doing some last minute cleaning and organizing. Also trying to catch up on my sewing projects - have several to finish before I can start on some Christmas projects! So...for any of you who might be interested - here is my FINAL cirriculum list for the upcoming school year. Feel free to stop reading now if you could care less about homeschool! :)

So what do you think? Overarching? We homeschool moms like to start August off planning on schooling 14 hours a day - but usually by October we have scaled back. I am using a slightly different scheduling format this year, so although this might look heavy, hopefully its attainable. I'd love your thoughts!
