Curriculum Choices for 2014-2015

 So, the next school "year"is upon us. Time to put our noses back to the grindstone after a great 8 weekish break. We are going to a 3 week ramp up of "School lite" before our beach trip, and then fully dive in at the beginning of August. Hulk will be starting K at home this year, after 3 years at the church preschool. Taz is no longer with us on a daily basis as his mom's out for the summer, and he will be entering public pre-k this fall. Ying & Yang will starting 3rd grade. So, here is this years plan.....
