Curriculum Planning = DONE (We hope)!

So, I think have the whole 'planning' thing under control! 

Here's our plans for the four children who will be homeschooling full-time.  Our 18 year old and 17 year old will be attending TAFE, but still have a few things to finish up here as well - such as our 'Lord of the Rings' literacy curriculum and the Apologetics Course.

For the rest, though, here is 'The Plan':

God bless,

Linda.
