Curricula Fun

O.k., I admit it.  I'm a little weird.  Researching home school curricula and planning a year (or a summer) of learning is actually fun for me.  As I mentioned in this post, I have many friends who have been homeschooling for many years that offered me support, guidance and wisdom in putting this curricula plan together.  


Here is what I have come up with so far.  Some of it may change as I continue to learn about homeschooling and maybe even after we start and need to make adjustments.  If you are a homeschooler and have any comments about any of these curricula or any others you love, please share!
