Our 2013-2014 Curriculum Plan

{This post contains a few affiliate links. Thank you for purchasing through my site!}

It is always a relief to get to this point every year, where the the courses are nailed down and the books are ordered! I will post a break-down of each subject and how I tackle each one in an upcoming post. I love to see how families work it all out!

We will add in our Theme of the Day Activities using this schedule:

• Monday with the Masters
• Creativity Tuesday
• Around the World Wednesday
• Poetry Tea Thursday
• Nature Fun Friday

Our students: dd16 (11th), dd14 (9th), ds10 (5th), dd8 (3rd), dd4 (PreK)

Because I overlap curriculum for several ages, I am listing by subject instead of grade.
