2009/2010 (Kindergarten)

• Started out the year using Winter Promise Advanced K Language Arts & Horizons K math.

If you want to hear more about how this went, read "Stepping Off the Beaten Path" - week 1.   We basically stopped everything in February because it was too much.  We did a mish mash of stuff to finish out our year.  I came up with things on my own and slowed the pace down and tried to make learning fun!!  I did start using All About Spelling 1 at this point!!
