5th Grade Homeschool Curriculum for 2015-2016
Fifth grade sounds so...so...so GROWN. One day you are giving birth. The next day you are planning out your 10-year-old's 5th grade curriculum! Last year, we didn't do 'enough' language arts so this year it will be a big focus for us. (I do use the words 'we' and 'us' because this homeschooling thing is a team!) I will be making a separate blog post about my 1st grader's curriculum because... well...I haven't a clue what we're doing yet!
