I spent a good deal of time last week going through my pile of disks containing the school files I have purchased or gathered from the internet. I was also finishing up the last of my planning for next year's school and getting ready to place a final curriculum order. As I looked through my files, I realized how foolish it was to order a bunch of extra books when I already had what I needed- "free" for the printing. So, this year I am going to be using as many of those resources as I can. Here is our plan, using what I had already purchased, a few things left over from last year, and a bunch of things I am printing from my files. Now I just have to finish printing before the baby arrives!(As you can see, my older children are somewhat behind in math, the younger two boys are behind in language arts, and my 5 year old is advanced to the point that I can't stay ahead of her. I hope to get everyone else caught up this year while keeping my daughter from getting bored.)

In addition to what is listed below, we will also start each morning with Bible reading, learning new hymns using a free online digital hymnal, and doing Home Ec using a curriculum by Christian Light Publications.
