Curriculum 2013/2014

Like I said in one of my previous posts, picking a curriculum is HARD!  I would never have imagined there would be so many choices to choose from.  You can really drive yourself crazy trying to figure out which one to use, Trust me I know!!  With much prayer and the help of the spirit I believe I was guided to the curriculum that would work best for us.  Every time I would close the web page and start looking at other curricula, I would always end up back at My Father's world's web page and the feeling I got was that this was the right choice for us and that was enough for me to commit.

Here is our curriculum breakdown.

We were doing "Handwriting Without Tears" but there is a lot of writing already in our curriculum so I decided to take it out.  We tried "Song School Spanish" but decided it wasn't really working out and switched to Rosetta Stone.
