It’s that time of year again when all the kiddos are heading back to school or homeschooling parents are getting their curriculum and lessons plans ready to go for the new school year! So, I wanted to share with you all what we will be using as Our 2014-2015 Homeschool Curriculum!
This year I decided to do things a little differently and I think it will work out great for us, especially the girls! First of all I decided to go back with Calvert Education as our Core Curriculum. Both Kaelyn and I loved Calvert last year and it worked very well with her after I had to change to something a little bit more challenging at the end of 2013. She will also be attending a homeschooling private school once a week where she will be learning and interacting with other homeschooling children. She is absolutely excited about this!
