Our 2011-2012 curriculum

 Our school year has actually been underway for 7 weeks.  We try to take off more time in the spring and fall.  We took off half of May and half of June.  We have some extra time scheduled off in November to go hunting.  It's just too hot to be outside right now!

I've tweaked our schedule a bit since we started, but overall I've kept it pretty much the same.  I think I'm pretty pleased with our plans for this year.
