I think it’s about time that I share our homeschool curriculum choices now that we have fully settled into this schoool year.
I didn’t make any big changes for this year, so if you’ve taken a look at past year’s curriculum choices, things will look much the same. I’m a big believer in not fixing what’s not broken.

The biggest change for this year was in deciding to combine Will and Jenny’s Sonlight cores. I burned out last year trying to manage three separate cores. Having the two older girls combined in one core and Jenny and Will combined in one has made things so much easier and enjoyable, too!
Whew! This sure makes for a full year, but we’re really enjoying it so far.
