Current Projects, Units and Skill Sets - FEBRUARY

Check back for updates on the following projects. 


NOTE:  While we are committed to the mantainence of this site, it is not a top priority.  We will update as we are able.  There are some projects with set deadlines, others continue until the skill set is learned.

Most of our January skills will continue into February.  Since this phase of Home Education is for us to familiarize ourselves with our kids' learning styles, the curriculum and methods we enjoy, we are not under pressure.  HORRAY!
