Updating the Reading List, Part 1

iespeed — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 16:58:58 +0000

Soon we will be posting the reading list so far.

A homeschool blog

Diane — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 20:15:06 +0000

We’re setting up a group blog for our homeschool this year. The plan is to have the kids log the books they read, electives they choose to study, projects they work on, and whatever else floats our boat. The kids will all be contributors and do the bulk of the posting.

Now let’s see if I can get this set up right!
