What this Year Looks Like

     Over the years I have always enjoyed blog posts on what other people's plans for the year look like. Some people don't like doing this because they start to feel inadequate, or feel like they are not doing enough. One of the things that I have learned is that everyone who homeschools does something different depending on their circumstances, preferences, and experience. Looking at what other people do gives me new ideas and helps me to see things in a way I had not thought of before. After 12 years of homeschooling, I am still learning.

Here is what our homeschool plans look like this year. 2011-2012
I intend to post later on what each subject looks like.
