I thought I’d share what we’re using this year. I’m pretty happy with it, although I would like to add art & music. But I don’t see where that will happen this year, so I’ll add it to my prayer list and wait for God to make it known to me whether I need to do some switching around to make it happen. I don’t think he’s going to give me more than 24 hours in a day to get it done!

I think we’re really going to enjoy both our history and science programs this year. I haven’t yet found one that I really liked, but these are looking very promising. There is just enough structure to keep me on track, but enough flexibility to keep me on my toes. I would love to use David Quine’s Art and Music programs. This is also where we get our math programs.
