Grade 6 Son's Homeschool Plan 2011 to 2012 Academic Year

Grade 6 Homeschool Plan and Curriculum List for my younger son

As of fall 2011, all courses to be administered by Mom at home. We have no plans for fall 2011 to do homschool co-op's or outside paid classes. There was too much going on with the August long distance move to set up outside classes and activities plus my son didn't want to do them anyway.
