Curriculum Choices 2013-2014

What a boring title. However, It will have to do since I don't have any creativity left tonight!

For the first time this year, I have three students! Gator is in 5th grade, Bull is in 2nd grade, and Monkey is in Pre-K.

I have no idea how I'm going to schedule our time this year. I'm still working on that! Fortunately, we won't start until after Labor Day, so I have a bit of time to figure that out!

I use this planner to help me get organized. It's especially helpful because it's geared toward homeschoolers. I don't have wasted pages like seating charts and whole-class attendance records. Because it's digital, I can pick and choose which pages/forms I actually need. Bonus: It matches my Erin Condren life planner (without the hefty price tag), too!
