The Howard Homeschool has been in session for five weeks now and we have settled into a sort of groove with our curriculum for the 2012-2013 school year. We've learned alot and most of all we've almost figured out what doesn't work and what is working great for us, so far!
I thought I would share what we are using this year and you can link up and share what you are doing!

We are also using some fun workbooks that focus on cutting skills, pasting, and following directions with both boys. I find many fun work sheets online at Homeschool Creations to help bring in other themes that the boys love as well. We are using the Memoria Press Kindergarten reading list as a spring board for our read alouds this year and are getting our books from the library.
Have you started yet? What will you be using??
How is the school year going for you??? I'd love to hear!!
