Quite obviously, I don't have enough time to blog as much as I'd like to.
Last year ended well, he did great in everything!
To kick off this school year, here's a list of what we'll be using. Hope this is helpful! These are only the main subjects, I supplement every subject. It's the overachiever in me. : ) I've never been one to purchase a box set. One of the perks of homeschooling is that I can read, review, and research...then I can pick what works best for us. For that, I am grateful.
