I have a plan!

Here it is, my plan for the 2010-2011 school year.

I had a hard time making it all fit, and I'm still not sure if it's going to work, but I am excited about this upcoming school year. There are so many things we want to learn, and I have to keep reminding myself that this is NOT my last year of homeschooling. Whatever we don't get to this year will have a spot next year (in theory!).
