Wow! Everything looks great. I'm kids are excited to get started this year. It's been so hot we couldn't go outside so they have actually been a little bored. LOL! Perfect time to start school I say.
Have a great day.

Hi! I found you through the Not Back-to-School blog hop.
It looks like you really have everything in order! :)
I can't wait for next year, when my daughter will be ready for Five in a Row. My son was never very excited about it but I think it will really click. Will you be posting lots about your FiaR adventures?
Have a great year!
Great job!
I love this blog hop. It really gives me great ideas and refreshes my thinking -- even though I've been homeschooling for over 10 years. So, thank you!
Have a great MOnday.

It looks like a great year. That Bible study sounds awesome. I'm going to have to add that to my list of things to check out.
I also have a 2nd grader and a K5'er:) You have a great lineup here! Happy Schooling!
Looks like a great plan. Good luck with your year. :)
Hi! Thanks for your comment on my blog! I hope you enjoy using Abeka! It's been great for us! God bless your school year!
Oooh, I've never heard of those books you are using for bible time. I love the book of James. I may have to check those out. Thanks so much for sharing your choices for the school year! I have a 4th and 2nd grader as well :) God bless!
