Phew!  I'm sure things will get tweaked as necessary.  We will definitely be adding more living books to our curriculum for the year but this is a start! 

I'm also reviewing for TOS Homeschool Crew this year so we will add those in when we get them too! 

Three cheers for a great new school year!  Now, let the copying and planning begin ;)

  2. =) It is alot! That's where I'm counting on my veteran homeschool mom's to come in,lol.

    I couldn't decide between MOH which we LOVE and wanting to try out SOTW so I found this schedule to combine both -somewhat ;)

    I can tell as each year goes by it gets harder for me to make a simple choice,lol!

    Apologia is the one for us too though so that one is still simple at least.

  5. Looks like a great year! We have loved SOTW so much my kids beg to "do history" This year we're trying out My Father's World so I don't have to pull it all together myself, and it includes SOTW. Have a wonderful year!
