It's that time of year again to announce our 2013-14 curriculum choices & school theme. This is our third year homeschooling and by now I have a pretty good idea on what works best for us. Below are what I've chosen for Batman who is going into second grade.

CLASSES/FIELD TRIPS
*We will continue to participate in our Homeschool Co-op each week.
*We belong to two homeschool groups in the area. We will enjoy going to many exciting field trips during the year.

SCHOOL THEME
My awesome brother-in-law Mark is a high school science teacher. He recently found out that his suggestion of "On Track to AWESOME" was chosen by his peers to be the 2013-14 school theme. It took all of 10 seconds for me to decide to also have it be our homeschool theme for the year. Wait until I show you how I'm going to make this "AWESOME"!
WHEW! A lot of thought and planning has gone into this year. I hope you enjoy a look at our homeschool curriculum and new school theme.
