Next Year

We've finished standardized testing for our first year. This means our first year has ended. I've bought the curriculum for next year and have started to prepare. I'm planning some field trips for next year and hoping to start school while I'm on leave, if we get Prasun in time.
The title of our curriculum for next year is "Creation to the Greeks". We'll be studying Jewish traditions, Greek influence on scinece and mathematics.
I have some ideas I'm hoping will make the year more enjoyable for Anthony and myself. We are going to Washington DC at the end of October. I've never been to DC so I think it will be fun. I'm hoping in the spring to go to the Knoxville Zoo. We will be going to Discovery Place in Charlotte (probably twice). Weekly trips to the library will keep the babies stocked with books. I'm going to make more of an effort to have "pre-school" as well.
I'll try to post more pictures of things we are working on and things Anthony is writing.
Ideas for next year:
Soccer -- September and October
Swimming-- November and December
Indoor Soccer --?January and February
I'm going to get registered for the homeschool classes at the local science center. It'll will give Anthony something to do once a month. I'll add more as I can think of it.
