Our Curriculum 2012 - 2013

We are about halfway through the year and I would say it's our best year yet. Overwhelming most days, exhausting all days but the kids are learning and it's a magnificent thing to watch. We are doing 2 solid days at Homeschool University. Those are the two days that I get to work out, run errands, do laundry, prep school for the rest of the week, work and once in a great moon, meet a friend for lunch. And that's okay with me for now. The time I get to spend with the kids is fleeting. The weeks go by so fast. It's a collaborative effort between their school and the parents to develop a curriculum that works for each student. Here is what we are doing this year.
