Curriculum

Here is a list of the main books we will use for school this year. I did not include any extra read alouds or projects we will use to expand on the subjects. Those will just come as we move along. As I look at my list, it seems a bit much, but I plan to focus on the main subject areas and if we have to drop some things along the way, so be it. That is the beauty of home education, is it not?
