We moved (only one house down!) at the start of this school year and I never sat down to write up our plans for this blog. Now we're more than six months in and winding down on some things already, but I wanted to give a little glimpse into what everyone is doing. To make it a little more manageable, I'll do one post for each grade level we have this year, starting with the oldest.
