Homeschool 2008-2009

Here's what we will be using for our homeschool studies for the year 2008-2009. Our plan is to work with our one year old until she can play quietly so we can begin our school day at breakfast. Currently, we work mostly when she is asleep. Our schedule will be flexible until we are able to get to the point where we can work while she is awake. I'm working on a daily schedule and will post that later this week.
