Our Curriculum for 2012-2013

I've had some dear friends asking me what curriculum we have chosen to use this year and while I'd really like to do some in depth blog posts about some of the things and tell you WHY we choose what we did, that will have to wait for another time.  For now I'll just give you a quick run-down of what each of the kids will be using in one form or another this year and maybe you'll find something you didn't know was out there!  That's always fun!
