We're a good 6-8 weeks into the school year now with approximately 10 weeks to go till Christmas! You may love your homeschool curriculum choices, or be already looking for something different. I am always interested to know what other families are using, and thought I may not be the only one. So, today I'm sharing our curriculum choices for the 2013-14 school year, along with our affiliate links to each one.
