2010-2011 Curriculum Blog Hop

Heart of the Matter is hosting the Not Back to School Blog Hop this year. What a cool way for homeschoolers to get excited about school starting! We get to share our families choices for curriculum and various resources over the next 4 weeks.

Week 1 is Curriculum Week

Week 2 is School Room Week

Week 3 is Student Photo Week

Week 4 is Day-in-the-Life- Week

Well, this it it! After planning and planning and some more planning this is what we are doing for our 2010-2011 school year. Why so much planning? Well, like you, I have a strong desire for my children to enjoy school.
