2012-2013 Curriculum Choices

It is hard to believe but the summer is almost over! We are planning to start our school year on Monday, August 13th and I am SO very excited to be using My Father’s World again! In fact, my kids are visiting their grandparents for a week, which means I am busy preparing for school! I can hardly believe that I will have a 4th grader, two 2nd graders, and two kindergarteners! Where oh where does the time go? Here is what we have planned for our 2012-2013 school year:
