Curricula Fun!

O.k., I admit it. I'm a little weird. Researching home school curricula and planning a year of learning is actually fun for me. As I mentioned in this post, I have many friends who have been homeschooling for many years that offered me support, guidance and wisdom in putting this curricula plan together.

Here is what I have come up with so far. Some of it may change as I continue to learn about homeschooling and maybe even after we start and need to make adjustments. If you are a homeschooler and have any comments about any of these curricula or any others you love, please share!

In the coming weeks, I'll try to share a little about each curriculum and why we choose them.  If you really want to check them out for yourself now, I've linked to each below.  Remember, TS1 refers to our son entering fifth grade and TS2 refers to our son entering second grade.
